Your favorite shaving... Sound?

[MichaelSch]

Okay, a bit of a left of centre question...

I shave in silence in the morning and this morning I noticed the various sounds associated with my shave.

So my question is, what sound of shaving do you enjoy the most?

* Brush on puck

* Brush working in lather bowl

* Brush applying lather to face

* Rinsing razor under tap

* Rinsing razor in sink

* Audio feedback of stubble being shaved

* Slap of AS on face

Or any other?

For me it's hard to beat the audio feedback of stubble being shaved, and it's also an important sound in my shaving to gauge how my shave is going. I also love the sound of the brush lathering in my bowl.

I kind of like the sounds of my whole shave routine.
The whipping of the soap into lather in a copper bowl that gives a ding when my brush handle hits the bowl.
The painting of the lather on my face/neck.
And the mowing of my facial fur.

Definitely the audio feedback while shaving. Its how I gauge the performance of the blade, my technique and completeness of the shave.

 

[The Blackadder]

The sound of the mailman bringing new gear

 

[Dave himself]

Audio feedback definitely #1.

The sound of the mailman bringing new gear

If this survey was about Visual feedback, I’d say “the Rolling of my Wife’s eyes” each time a new package arrives.

 

[silverlifter]

The sound of a full hollow blade singing as it cuts stubble.

Hollow blade singing,
Softly scythes morning stubble,
Calm as a still pond.

 

[vladgh]

For me, the audio feedback is most enjoyable, along with the swishing of the brush on the face.

 

[Ravenonrock]

Stropping.

* Audio feedback of stubble being shaved

It’s like quietly practicing maracas

For me: option F

This could have been even more interesting if it had been formatted as a poll.
We could have seen in a single table where the preferences lie.

B.

 

[Blade_Runner37C]

+1 for the audio feedback

 

[sanookd]

The swoosh a straight razor makes on leather while stropping!

 

[Pacman225]

I like the audio feedback of removing stubble the best.

 

[MrSpeedy]

The audio feedback, followed by the sound of slapping on the aftershave.

 

[Gamecock]

The audible feedback from cutting that stubble...
