    I do a full 3 pass, WTG, XTG and ATG every day...
    Then I do approx. 1/2 pass that I call the "Hollow of the Neck" pass on the lower part of the neck.
    A tiny bit more around the "soul patch" and the goatee and it's over, but I always want to do more!!!

    I remember Lynn Abrams saying on one of his tutorials, "Your index finger is your best friend." and the man is right. When I'm done with my third pass I dab my index finger in some lather and feel for spots that need touch up. Kind of funny but I've done this for over 40 years.

    Had my four pass shave this evening and wanted to share the results. Wanting a bullet proof, luxurious lather, I pulled out my one cream, TOBS Sandalwood. Up on the rotation was my Engels Leader. I did WTG, XTG, XTG, ATG.
    The two XTG passes were in opposite directions. Closing in on 200 shaves and this evenings was the overall, closest shave ever. Where there were obvious improvements; the corner of the neck, the chin and upper lip. Amazing shave with a nice bay rum finish. Convert!
