This is just the audiophile’s “tube amplifiers have a warmer sound” of the shaving world.

I mean, no one is telling you to stop, but I wouldn’t chalk up your recommendations to anything more just preferences.

It’s just another hobby. Some people love scotch, others coffee and some people getting the best shave experience.

If I loved scotch and someone said “yuck, I don’t like it” I wouldn’t somehow assume they were living their life incorrectly or missing out, they just don’t like it.

There's a difference. Tube amplifiers are objectively less accurate at reproduction and can be hideously expensive. DE razors take more skill/effort, but produce indistinguishable results (i.e. a smooth face) for a fraction of the price. Cartridge razors are a convenience, but you pay for that convenience.
