    Default How many passes do you do?

    The title says it all. WTG, XTG, or ATG

    I do one WTG and one ATG i find it give me less chance of irritation/nicks

    Voted WTG and ATG, but actually I do WTG/XTG above my jawline, and WTG/ATG below the jawline. Except my chin, which gets XTG on both passes, one LR and the other RL.

    My beard is nuts and I have to shave up, down, left, and right to get it BBS. There's still some parts I can't manage under the neck line because I haven't figured how to angle the blade to get it.

    I cant vote as my choice isn't up there! I do 1 pass with, against, and across the grain. Just 1 pass, and it matters not which way the whiskers grow. My second pass is strictly against the grain or across the grain, that is, if I do a second pass. I usually just do a touch up!

    I wonder if I'm the only one who does 2 wtg passes.? I don't actually prefer bbs. Just a nice smooth shave. Anyone else go just wtg?

    Recently, I've been doing a pass and a half. I go downwards on my first pass, and then I lather up my neck, chin, upper lip, and a bit of my lower face and go TTC (Towards The Chin). It's kind of like a cleanup pass, but not really.

    One is enough if you know what you are doing, but it would not be strictly with the grain.
