Traditional shaving with straight razor.

200 โ‚ฌ for a razor that you'll keep for life compared to 60 โ‚ฌ of blades every 6 month, you quickly win

It's a fun time taking care of yourself in the bathroom

This! I use a DE but the same principle applies. The ritual feels good, the soaps and splashes smell good, and it leaves you looking good. I started wet shaving during the pandemic as a form of self care and am still at it (almost done with my second tub of shave soap). I have also taught my tweenage son wet shaving and gave him my first DE, a gentle Japanese model, to learn.
