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

Thanked: 11 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!"

Thanked: 2755 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

I started to type something similar, but knew my mentor Obie would do so in a more eloquent manner Originally Posted by Obie

Well said, and what I think also. But I must say I really enjoy shaving ATG with a Straight razor and get a perfect BBS without any nicks or blood. When I first tried shaving with a Straight, I never ever thought I would manage a ATG pass! Originally Posted by Obie

There are three things that I enjoy.
1. The entire process of shaving with a straight.
2. Having a razor cut well, especially against the grain, after honing it.
3. Applying aftershave.
Cheers,

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
