I normally perform a two and a quarter to two and a half pass shave with a straight daily with the same passes on Sunday with a Double Edge. I do not get hung up on BBS but rather CCS or Close Comfortable Shave.

If you have quit using a straight or Safety razor what made you want to quit?


When you returned what brought you back?
My worst experiences were with multiblade razors, and I wanted an alternative to those and electric razors for 40 years. Getting a safety razor was like face candy. Straight razors had a sharp learning for me but my desire to master it was so strong that I persevered until I prevailed. After 4 1/2 years it is still a treat to have a face that feels good after shaving.
