could i possibly add another step into my shave somewhere?

[Pops!]

so i tried to prolong my shave experience for as long as possible today.. i took a superlong shower.. conditioned my beard.. used baby oil for preshave.. uberlathered.. did a pass and a half.. rinsed with warm water.. tried alum for the first time.. rinsed with cold water.. applied witch hazel.. applied nivea aftershave balm.. then finished with clubman bay rum..

i feel pretty well pampered to excess.. is there anything i missed? could i add any other steps in there?

A glass of 1993 Terredavino Barolo after the Bay Rum...?

I like to try to drink a cup of hot,black,coffee during the shave.You just add the word SIP after each of your present steps......

You could always heat up a wrung out towel in the microwave, wrap it around your face after you condition your beard but before you apply pre-shave oil and recline for several minutes in your Barcolounger.
Namaste,

My dear Victor:

You had the shave of a king. What more is there? Savor the memory — and do it again.

You could always do 2 or 3 passes instead of a pass and a half?

Also, why not use two aftershave balms instead of one? Sometimes I put on a light layer of mamabear's aftershave prior to my Nivea Sensitive. Seems to calm my skin better.

Other than that, no......you ran the full mile.

When I'm doin a good ole full shave I after shower lather up and cover with a hot towel and sit for a few, I do this maybe three times, then lather again and shave, also after the alum and rerinse an ice cold towel for a few minutes is nice and refreshing, then I do my witch hazel and balms.

Oh and if it's a good relaxing shave a glass of brandy or a beer or a whiskey or your choice at the end.

Before you apply that hot towel saturate it in some thayers witchazel or maybe some quality bay rum aftershave.

You forgot the most important thing. A sacrifice to the shaving gods.

right.. i forgot the hot towel and the bourbon.. i'll try again in a few days.. i'm really aiming for excess on this.. but i think the conditioner in the shower was a waste.. i'm looking forward to the hot towel though.

also.. in case i'm not up for bourbon.. maybe i bag of crisps and a stella artois.
