The above is my routine as well. I just wanted to add that if I do that BBS shave for more than two days in a row I start to get burn and irritation no matter what. If I gave my face a couple of days in between BBS I get no irritation however.


I'd love to throw my old electric against a brick wall but it was a present from my wife so even though I haven't used it in years, I don't think it would be a good idea. It sounds soo satisfying though.
