I think the penny dropped for me as previously posted when I did not chase the BBS but sought the comfort from a shave. I am now at a stage with a one pass (albeit repetitive short strokes) I can get a DFS and not worry about the rest. When I have a special occasion I will thin down my lather and then just touch up areas where I can feel stubble. I think newbie’s should always go for comfort over BBS although I do have a thick slow growth and sensitive skin so it rashes easily.

I completely agree with you. Focusing on shave comfort is the best way to get a good shave.

I'm a cranky old man, and my personal view is that BBS should just lose one 'B'.....at which point it describes itself.

I find if I shave my neck sideways with a "guillotine" motion, I can achieve BBS on my neck, as I won't leave the sink without BBS all over. Kinda' dangerous but it works for me.

Gentlemen,

In my overall shave, and especially on the neck, I strive for comfort over perfect.
