  • One pass then I'm off to work before I'm late. I'm not a slave to my shaving.

  • Two passes to get it pretty smooth. I enjoy spending some time on it if I'm not rushed.

    107 61.14%
  • Three passes with scented candles and atmospheric music. Shaving is a journey, not a destination.

  • As many as it takes to get that fabled BBS! I might have OCPD!

    and the fourth is clean up ATG & XTG where needed

    This light multiple passes are really working. I get real BBS with absolutely no irritation or burn.

    Hmmm... I might have to try an extra WTG pass or two just to compare. Oddly enough, have never done more than one WTG pass.

    I voted for 2 but I'm definitely checking out the scented candles.

    Great idea..... hmm maybe not. my cat likes to watch while I shave.

    Two passes. One WTG, the second usually some mixture of XTG and ATG, depending on how ambidextrous I'm feeling at the time.

    Then, I usually have to touch up the neck in places, and at the edge of the jaw.

    Usually does pretty well.

    I do a WTG then a ATG, but I add a little XTG on just my chin to get that super smooth. I only really need about two passes for a BBS shave Sometimes its nice to have a weak girly beard lol

    One pass every other day. I'm out of work so it doesn't matter whose butt my face looks or feels like.

    Thumbs up

    I voted 2 passes, because that's the closest. Like Cat Man and some others, I do some part of a 3rd pass some days, just depends. But no scented candles, music, or marching bands...

    But I'm retired, and I DO want to enjoy my shave, so I do whatever is needed for a nice, comfortable, really good, shave.

    2 passes, one WTG and one XTG, it leaves very little to be desired, but on weekends or on special occasions I'll do a third pass ATG.

    I voted one pass, but not because I'm rushed or anything, thats just all I need.
