Thread: When do you stop

Down, up, stop. I'm a simple man with simple needs. Sometimes that gives me BBS, sometimes it doesn't, but I'm always well-shaven with that approach.

I think if you want to chase BBS as your goal that's fine, but do it in a smart way (not that I'm saying anyone is doing it in a dumb way, it's just a general point I'm making). The best BBS is the one that comes from good technique and minimal passes, not the one that comes from so many passes that you've worn away 1/8th of the razor by the time you are done.

I think perhaps a better goal, particularly for newer users, is this low-pass BBS because it discourages high-pass shaving and makes you concentrate on good things like your technique (blade angle, stretching, prep etc).
