This is a really helpful post!

Just to be clear -- are you saying that you get a BBS shave with one pass?

That's my goal. I can get one with 2 passes, but don't really have the time in the morning before work, so want to get the best shave I can practically get without rushing but also without taking too much time on a work day.

I don't know how one could get a full BBS smooth over the entire face with one pass, unless all of the facial hair grows the same way. This individual may exist but would prove to be exceptionally rare...
