Thread: do you go for a bss everytime?

Yes and no. I do 2 passes max with maybe a touch up area and that usually suffices. If I do 3 passes I will have irritation so I don't do 3 passes. I think that my beard is relatively soft with the exception of the chin and an area on either side of my windpipe. So I usually get bbs in the fore mentioned 2 passes but if not then tomorrow is another day. BTW, the better my preparation the better my shave.

I agree with Jimmy. For me the pass limit is 3.5 If I go whole hog and try for a masterpeice I'll be sore later with some burnage. But as even now as I know this I'll probably do it again next time I shave. Now with my neck, whole different animal. My throat will be on fire for days if I go for BBS on it. So I just get the hair off it and that's it. And like what Jimmy says, beard prep is everything. All the best -J
