A two or three day layoff; 10-licks of a straight on webbing treated with CrOx; 50-60 laps of good leather. Three passes and water touch-up on my neck/jawline. That gets pretty close for me but I am still a rookie, sort of.
Same as above, more time consuming, a third pass with a Rolls Razor. Perfect.
Easier still , faster but slightly more prone to irritate, three good passes with a Gillette DE and a Feather blade.
BBS is like a hobby thing. If you already have a job you can't spend your day shaving to perfection, playing golf or building model airplanes. Retired Old Farts do it whenever they want because they have experience and more time in the morning; young guys, more likely, work on BBS on weekends for the sport of it. I did have a magnificent shave after a three day layoff (Sunday afternoon) and felt nearly clean shaven by late Monday. This morning, after a 36-hr break, a three pass with a DE was also excellent. In any case I can't manage shaves like this 5-6 days/week; a little too rough on the skin or just too time consuming to bother with."We'll talk, if you like. I'll tell you right out, I am a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk."
