Next the XTG pass removes some more stubble and the final ATG pass should take care of the rest for a DFS, sometimes a BBS.

If you try to do it all in one pass you will likely be applying too much pressure and will be well on the way to a razor burned face.

This is how I read it too.

I suggest watching a few 3 pass shaves on utube.
