Thread: Becoming a one pass shaver

When I first started as a Newbie all I had was my uncles 5/8 Genco Grant and a leather strop with no cloth. After a professional honing, it was an amazing shave. Only a couple of nicks and most of the whiskers had vanished.

After some real practice I could get a decent shave with a single pass no irritation, no razor burn, no ingrown hairs and only the occasional nick or small cut.

Then after reading here at SRP how the 'multi pass shave' was sooooooo much better and would result in the legendary BBS (Baby Butt Smooth) shave I dove head on.There were recommendations of 2-3-4-5 pass shaves and links to videos shown how it's done.

I'm just an Old Redneck Country Boy but it didn't take me long to figure out that those multi pass shaves only did ONE thing. They just irritated my skin. However! With what Glen calls 'Well Mapped Out with a Sharp Razor Single Passes' I was not only back to none of the problems that I had Before the multi pass shaves I was getting a very nice shave that would last 24 hours meeting my companies dress code.

If you've followed my posts you will find that I don't believe in the BBS Shave. I believe in the CCC (Clean Close Comfortable) Shave!
