I thought I had posted in this thread but I guess not>
Two passes and maybe some light water only touch up = BBS with a few spots of DFS.
I will go for BBS if I have a reason, it adds a water only pass + touch ups.
It takes as long as the first two passes and can leave a touch of irritation although I can skip a day after.
My comfortable 2 pass shave is close enough and keeps me and the little woman happy.edhewitt likes this.It is just Whisker Whacking
Relax and Enjoy!

I go for and achieve BBS every shave except for the moustache area...it just won't accept it. Maybe I was Tom Selleck in a previous incarnation, I sure as hell ain't now.

If that's your answer it would have been quite confusing the other two times you posted it. Originally Posted by 10Pups

NP it isn't the only thing repeated in here. I just can't find my copy and paste sheet right now :<0) .
Goes something like ... I just shave and I get darn good ones everyday. If I think I am going to be putting my face somewhere that BBS would matter I don't stop till I got it. Of course the C/P version is more eloquent.edhewitt likes this.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

When I started straight razor shaving I wanted bbs badly and couldn't get it. Once I could on a fairly regular basis time passed to where bbs became less important to me.
Now I only go for it on occasion and dfs is plenty good most days.edhewitt likes this.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Judging from the responses in this thread most of us are in the same boat. Like most of you I started off shooting for BBS all the time, once I got there I realized the ability to achieve BBS is more fulfilling than being BBS every time. Besides, with my sensitive skin it's not worth the irritation, not to mention the additional time. I reserve BBS for special occasions.
Now I'm at the point where a DFS is damn fine
BTW - if we really want to open a can of worms someone should start a thread on the definition of BBS

Since I started this thread I will give my 2 cents. When I first started I used the chase for BBS to gauge my skills in shaving. Now I use the chase for BBS to gauge my skills in honing. So I only attempt it now after a fresh honing of a restored blade.
DFS is good enough for me and the SWMBO and reduces the time required, allowing more time to make scales and hone some more.
