    Default How close is close enough?

    Just wondering how close everyone shaves themselves on a regular basis. So please tell me about your everyday shave.
    Do you go for a BBS shave everyday so you look like Xman (pg 4), RICHZ (pg 2) and FIRESTART (pg 2)? Or is a less than BBS shave good enough for your day?

    The "what do you look like" thread

    Thanks for the input

    I only do wtg pass on the neck and wtg and xtg on the cheeks and chin. This gives me a way closer shave then crap 3 ever did, and though you can still feel the sharp edge of the stubble when rubbing your hand against the downward growth on the cheek, it looks shiny smooth and clean.

    I have very very flat growing hairs though, and have never shaved ATG in my life.

    Only shaved once so far (last night ) and I did wtg and xtg on the cheeks. Thats really good enough for me. As I get into this I may push it farther. Need to get my shaving road map on my face figured out first

    Take a look at my avatar (left side) now that is close enough.. LOL

    Actually I go WTG and ATG every morning. But then again I can be a tad anal at times.

    WTG and ATG every morning. I hate the shadow thing and my beard is to rough. My little girl will feel and tell me it hurts if there is stuble there.

    I also go with the WTG and ATG shave every day. I wouldn't say it's because I want the BBS feel (although that's part of it). For me, more passes = more fun!

    WTG and then XTG. Never, never ATG. With a light touch and a little stretching, that alone is way close. Even the XTG pass is often mostly WTG in direction.

    Usually with the grain and and across the grain on my face; with and against on my throat. If I'm swimming that day and I shave before, I only do one light pass on my face and throat.
