Do you chase the BBS? Or is DFS good enough?

DFS is good enough for me and the SWMBO and reduces the time required, allowing more time to make scales and hone some more.

Now here is a DFP (damn fine post.) :<0)

If I'm going to use an acronym to describe the type of shave I look for, I'd go with 'CCS' - close, comfortable shave.

That's what I look for when I shave: a shave that's close enough to last the day, but I won't sacrifice comfort at the altar of closeness.

You'd think that would be the case but search some of those threads. For some reason they tend to get contentious.

Wait your telling me BBS does not stand for Big Bald Sasquatch?
Next you will tell me that DFS does not stand for Daily fuzz scraped....
OK I have some more work to do.....

All I will say further is that I have never heard the skin on any part of a baby described as stubbly (even just small, hard to get to, patchy areas when going atg) no matter what direction people are describing it from.

Even with very careful wording that doesn't really sound good. But that's the best I could do.

Ed you got me picturing a guy walking up to a lady asking " pardon me can I feel your babies butt?
Just for a comparison to my shave . Honest !"

I have to admit, I feel much better about myself now. I could never understand how people could shave everyday. I am always trying for a BBS and I can't touch a razor to my face for at least 3 days after. If I would stop at a 2 pass, it would be much easier. Good info.

Glad you have come to the comfort side

shave one pass twice a day if you want to.
