Thread: Anyone use a one pass ATG?

I can manage a WTG/ATG two pass shave. But a first pass ATG would be bloody.

I've been doing it for years.

I got easily irritated skin.

So years back I decided to stick with only doing one pass, ATG. Somehow my face likes this pass the best.
A well honed and stropped razor and a good prep/lather/softening is a must.
Took me a while to perfect the technique for it, but pretty much use a very low angle, almost flat against my face seems to work for me.

(I might slightly prefer a Thüringer finish over a Coticule finish for a one pass ATG shave, sharpness helps)

I do one pass and shave every other day.

Never tried one pass ATG, my routine is one pass WTG and one combo of ATG/XTG so a total of two passes and it's a DFS and good for me.
