    Default what part of the shave do you enjoy most?

    Hello All,

    I've been straight shaving for just over a month now and so i'm just beginning to realize what part of my shave ritual I enjoy most. In my case it's making the lather. I just love whirling that brush around in that bowl. splashing cool water on my face is a close second.

    I'm just wondering what part of their shaves other members enjoy most?

    nobody better say applying stiptic pencil


    peace,
    Stultsy

    Applying the bay rum afterwards.
    The smell is great, and the skin feels smooth and tight.

    Default The Smooth Shave feel!

    I love the smooth shave feel after shaving - it stays with me all day. I will run my hand over my chin and be glad I took the time to get a classic close shave - the old fashioned way.

    I have to say, I just literally had my 10th shave 10 minutes ago, and today everything went well. Few laps on the barber hone before, felt/leather strop, hot shower, lathering, 2 WTG + 1 ATG passes, some aftershave afterwards.

    My favorite thing would probably have to be when everything comes together into that magical experience and after you're done you can sit back and admire and say "Now THAT was a good shave!"

    Default What part of the shave do you enjoy most?

    Gentlemen:

    I don't compare the various parts of my shaving ritual. I enjoy the whole ritual and embrace each part for what it is.

    Regards,

    Obie

    My favorite part is the Aftershave as well, I love that the scent sticks with you for a while after then shave. A close second would definitely be the feel of a smooth face at the end of the day. I actually just got to experience this for the first time yesterday (my first full 3 pass shave).

    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.
