Best Martini s

I am tired of seeing threads only about things I don't drink(sorry beer and scotch fans). I like Martini's and maybe others out there do also. I prefer mine with Bombay Saphire gin and Noilly Prat French Dry Vermouth. Start with a boston shaker 2/3 full of ice cubes, then add room temp. gin (I usually use 2 jiggers of gin but I have large glasses) and then add a quick mist of chilled vermouth after the gin is comfortable with the ice and proceed to shake the hell out of it. Then strain into a chilled cocktail glass(I prefer Riedel crystal) with NO garnish, I once heard a saying "garnish is a speed bump on the road to bliss". Any other martini fans out there? what do you prefer?
