Shaving, Wet shave vs electric

....if straight razors are all that there'd be more people using them....

....shaving is a chore and I think needs to be done quickly....

You've hit the nail on the head. People do see it as a chore and, rather than spend a relaxing twenty minutes shaving and then time at the weekend honing/stropping, will settle for a quick but poorer shave.

However, there's nothing stopping you shaving in the evening - with a good shave that should last all the next day.
