Thread: how many passes?

2.5 passes. Clean, close and comfortable. Basically you cannot see that my shave is not perfect you would have to feel that, and there is a very small number of people who are permitted to stroke my face. For a true 100% BBS shave is takes some monkeying around on my neck with a razor that is pretty much fresh off the hones. I am very happy with a close and comfortable shave, heavy on the comfortable.

+1 & Well said.
Getting to this point just takes practice and great edges.
And then one day your first pass is DFS and the second leaves you in wonder.
That 1/2 pass for most is the neck - those swirly patches.

Remeber comfort.....close will follow soon.

Smooth shaving
