My favorite part is applying the styptic pencil! I just had to say that.
I agree with Obie, the whole ritual is my favorite part.

For me, the very best part is that first stroke of a newly honed razor when I find out just how well the honing went. When I get that buttery smoooooth feeling and I know I did a good job honing I feel very gratified. Sometimes I have to grin so wide that I need to stop for a moment and just savor the feeling.

I love every time I make a stroke and think "Oh man, this razor is so smooth on my face. I can't believe it's removing hair!" Gotta love the smells too.

Although I enjoy the entire process, I guess for me the most gratifying moment comes when I towel off my cheeks and neck for that last time and look in the mirror, revealing my freshly shaved face. Shaving perfection!

Stulstastic,
I am with Obie here; the entire shave is a source of much pleasure to me
The daily shave is one of the few dependable high points of the working day; particularly when it's been a really crappy one at work
Have fun !
Best regards
Russ

I agree. It's the whole process from planning which razor to buy, honing, stropping, the feeling of sharp steel against my throat, shaving, the BBS and looking darn good at work. Originally Posted by Obie
