Straight razor shaving is a carousel of small parts or options for a joyful ride. Concentrate on any one and you can get lost in the fun of it. Just like all the beings that make up a carousel so are all of the parts of the SR world. And don't forget the seat if you don't feel like getting motion sickness. Sometimes just sit and look at your gear, your razors, your aftershave, soaps, scuttle, bowl, creams, strop, the stack of hones from man and nature.....just sit on the bench and marvel at what the hell happened.
