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

When I first started I was trying to get BBS every time I shaved. Now its WTG, and ATG and that's it. I also have a beard so the only areas I'm doing are my neck and a bit of my upper cheeks. The cheeks get 1 pass and the neck gets 2 passes. It works well for me and leaves a nice comfortable shave.

I don't chase the BBS but I do give it a run once a week.
Why, because in my mind, for me, it is the 'mark of mastery' in this endeavor.
When I can achieve BBS anytime I want, I will know that I have dominion over the steel!
With that being said, I also know that with SR shaving, it's the journey not the destination.

today was a 2 pass DFS.
Everyone have a great day.

I chase a BBS all the time but if I don't get it no big deal either, just try again another day.

I do a three pass shave. I am blessed with no razor burn so I can get a BBS shave often. If after three passes I miss a few hairs no big deal. I'll get them tomorrow.

First off I tend to follow a set rotation of razors. I have razors that I never expect a BBS from so that immediately sets my expectation. My work day shave is 2 pass and maybe a touch up under my jaw line. Whatever the result is good enough. If I am going out with the "fairer sex" then I will pursue BBS, choosing an appropriate blade is the first step.

I don't try very hard to get BBS. As long as as it looks good and feels decent. If I don't get BBS I just have more to practice on tomorrow, no big deal

[ajsaxs]

I never chase a BBS.

DFS in one pass for me.

[RVShave]

DFS is good enough for me, I do a modified 2 pass, WTG on the first pass and ATG on my neck and XTG on my face, I can't seem to position my hand for XTG on my neck.

most days Im good with a DFS. BBS is a rare-ish achievement for me.
