I'm using light pressure in the X pattern and was wondering if I just wondering if there was some sort of guide about how many passes it might take. I know that this is a broad question highly dependant on the razor condition but I just want to make sure that I shouldn't question my technique if several members have to use say 200-300 laps before they get anywhere.
Thoughts?
