Either your mom and mine went to the same school, or there is only one right way to iron dress shirts! I do it in the exact same order that you do! I remember starting with ironing handkerchiefs to learn on. Then I graduated to ironing my Dad's cotton boxer shorts (wrinkles would be "painful for him" according to my Mom) and graduating to dress shirts.
So glad that we don't have to iron clothes (much) any more. Phew!
