Thanked: 1195As other members more experienced than I have said, it is better to have a comfortable shave than to have a red swollen BBS close shave. XTG works well in most places, but if you have to go ATG then touch up those particular areas and leave it at that. Don't go for a full face ATG pass if you don't have to. I hope this helps.

i usually do WTG then XTG, then another XTG from just my sideburns to chin with my mouth wide open (this one is just a personal preference) and then i do ATG on just my cheeks and side burn area with a lot less angle and very little pressure. if i do ATG anywhere else it is usually with hot water only (which mixes with the shave cream residue) and it tends to be the jawline only. sometimes i don't even do ATG if i am pressed for time. hoep this helps.
Good luck and it sounds like you are doing pretty well so far, so keep it up!

Thanked: 13234I can't get a perfect BBS without going ATG on the two tiny spots on either side of my Adam's apple and a lot of skin streching....
It just isn't worth it to me on those two spots, nobody else can tell, except me really trying to find an errant whisker....
So I now coin the term APBBS Almost Perfectly Baby Butt Smooth

No BBS for me -- I just can't do it. Plus, even if I did manage to
coax the whiskers beneath the skin, they would make their way
back out 45 mins later.
I think the answer is -- it depends. Stick with WTG/XTG for a
long time, then give ATG a try (carefully).

I find that I can get pretty close to BBS with additional cleanup using XTG passes. So, I like the newly coined:
"APBBS Almost Perfectly Baby Butt Smooth."
