Straight razor shaving is lot of small parts put together. If we forget honing and just concentrate on shaving there is choosing razor and soap, preparing your face, organize your stuff for shave, making lather, lathering your face, stropping, shaving and after treatments. I guess I am still forgetting something.

My best part of shaving is definitely making lather. I like different fragrances and scents floating around bathroom. I have to sniff lather bowl or brush time to time. It is kind of aroma therapy for me I bought Col. Conk's Bayrum shaving soap and that moment when I first time made lather of it I just couldn't stop sniffing lather bowl. Same happened with Fitjar's Fjellheim shaving soap.
