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

[souschefdude]

As we say here in Berks County, 'it wonders me' why I hear so much talk about BBS.
For me I am content to do 2 passes and get a DFS.
So do you chase the BBS? If so, why?

[Laurens]

I can't for the life of me shave really ATG in my neck, hairs are too sideways. And moustache is too tough, though I get close to BBS. Yes, I chase BBS, but not fervently and I'm content with DFS to save my skin.

[Razorfeld]

I'm usually content with a DFS and a few small trouble spots that need a third pass. Being retired there is no need for a BBS except every so often when the mood hits me to play around or prolong the shaving time I'll go for a BBS. When I occasionally use a DE or SE I'll play around to see if I can get a BBS with them (no and sometimes).

WTG + XTG + ATG = BBS. WTF, WNI?

[edhewitt]

No, I just give it 2 (ish)more like 1.68 passes and call it good. Heck I will be doing it again tomorrow anyway. When I did get really really smooth I couldn't touch my face due to the pain.

i only shave two passes, wtg then atg. to achieve bbs on my cheeks, all i have to do is wet my face again and do another quick atg touch up which takes like a minute so why not?

[bombay]

WNI?

eh?

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.
