I have eczema. Shaving (in the bathtub after a long soak) helps remove the excess dead skin caused by the condition, and with it, the maddening itching it brings on.
Oh, and I get rid of a few stray hairs the epilator machine didn't yank from my arms and legs.
I have a lint-catcher screen stuffed into the bathtub drain to catch all the hair, btw.
