Thread: 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

I find WTG then XTG is all I ever need.

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.

I didn't vote.

I do 1 WTG
then 2 ATG

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?

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

I do two using the gradual stubble removal technique. I have no problems with razor burn trying to get bbs in one pass as I used to do. I enjoy a second pass anyhow for the pleasure of lathering after the rinse.

I voted wtg/xtg but like mparker and some of the other posters there is some ATG in the mix depending on the area of my face and neck.

Add me to the all three category. I usually only have to shave once or twice a week and I like to give it just a little bit extra attention when I do.
