The secret to how I get BBS shaves every time....

[carazor]

A simple change in my shaving has allowed me to get BBS shaves every time I shave now. And when I say BBS I mean everywhere on my face and irritation free. It's not related to lathering, or honing, or anything physical. It is a mental exercise..!

What I do: I try to use the razor to simply wipe the lather from my face as easily and smoothly as possible. I do 3 passes: WTG, XTG, ATG and I don't worry about removing whiskers, just the lather. I try to do this with as light a touch as possible to get the lather all off.

The outcome: perfect BBS shaves every time with no irritation!

Obviously the ease at which I remove the lather is a function of a sharp razor, correct lather, etc. But assuming my lather is right and my razor is sharp, this simple exercise has made my shaving much more efficient, close, and irritation free.
