Thanks Steel. What are BBS shaves? I didn't know I was going to learn acronyms to be able to shave. It seems that 90% of shaving with a straight razor is all about what works for you (or me). I don't think I've asked one question and someone said "whatever he says" and I had my answer. Makes me wonder why anyone would go through the trouble to learn this way of shaving. I am enjoying straight shaving though including finding what works for me.
Sorry. BBS stands for baby butt smooth. I enjoy the challenge of learning my way through. It is not a quick learn but has a big learning curve but the results are MORE than rewarding and worth the effort.
