I have turned to straight razor shaving for three simple reasons.
1. Less waste / better for the environment.
2. This type of shaving gives me an outlet to exercise patients (something everyone should get more practice at).
3. Straight razor shaving was common during a time when the quality of your work and your integrity were more important than how many toys you could afford. Now I'm sure any correlation between the downfall of America's work ethic / quality of export and straight razor shaving practices may be coincidental. However, I find that when I spend a portion of the day to slow down and spend a little time improving myself (i.e. the quality of my shave), it seems to extend some of that practice to the rest of my day. Coincidence or not, for me, it is a contributing factor.

...there's just something that feels manly about it. Admit it; you all know I'm right.
