    Yes, but I achieve it with a once over approach.

    I always go for BBS, but I don't always get it. I stop when my face tells me it's enough. If it's BBS, great, if not, that's OK too. I'd rather not have irritation.

    Before my son was born last year the answer was a definite yes, but now most times I'm just trying to get a shave in and don't care as much about a BBS result.

    I now stand prostrate to receive your admonitions.

    Most of the time I just do two passes, WTG and XTG, and this get me pretty smooth (BBS actually on my cheeks). But I don't do more than this on a daily basis. Two passes is more than acceptable and very comfortable. I will do a third or forth pass if I have a special occasion, date, etc. but other than that I don't go for BBS.

    I go for BBS every day. It takes me 4 passes WTG, ATG and 2 XTG. If you're getting irritation, consider modifying your prep and technique: better lathering, lighter touch and using a sliding/guillotine stroke.

    I go for it too, but manage to get it with less passes. Most areas just a single ATG pass, which works OK for me, fortunately.
