Thread: Passes

I have about 5 shaves under my belt with the C-Mon I restored and RupRazor honed. I tried the one pass down and one pass up, I keep seeing on the videos. But I find I need to do 4 passes to get an acceptable shave. So I wonder, do most of get it done in two. How many passes do YOU do?

I do two passes because that gives me a close enough shave. It's pretty much down than up. It's not BSS everywhere (pretty mucd only BBS on the cheeks), but I don't get any irritation (and I have rather sensitive skin).

Hola,

For work, only 2 passes are really needed - WTG & XTG, cuz there's no more visible stubble but it can be felt The ATG pass is reserved for date night, when my face needs to be as smooth as glass. Hope that helps!

P.S. As you iron out your prep, shave style, and skin stretching regimen, your results should improve over time.

Best of Luck

Two does the trick for me and if I go three I court irritation. Like Dylan I must have sensitive skin. I have very fine hair on my noggin. I've never shaved anyone but me so I can't really assess my beard as far as toughness goes but I suspect mine is not as wiry and tough as some and those poor souls may need to go more than two. OTOH, as your technique, prep and stretching improve so will your shaves.

Normally I do WTG followed by 2 passes XTG(one each way). Still the chin have to get some extra passes on some spots. ATG only for festive occasions. Technique improving over time as result

Well, I do an XTG then a ATG (mostly) then a sort of touch up--water buffing the areas that still feel stubbly. So, 2 and a half passes maybe?

I do 2 pass's WTG,XTG and do touch up with DE around the goattee,leaves a presentable,nice shave but im still working on my technique and stretching of my skin as well.

For me it's one pass north to south, one pass south to north and then finish off any rough spots. The more you stretch the skin and get those hairs on a flatter surface the easier it is to get yourself a two and a half pass BBS shave.

Gentlemen,

I have shaved in three-passes for quite sometime. With a sensitive Hollywood skin, however, I find that two must do the job.

No easy task this, as you may know. Thus far I have trimmed the shave to two and a half passes, with some clean up.

The first pass is north-south with the grain, and the second east-west across the grain from the mouth to the ear on both sides. The neck still needs three passes, though, and clean up, but I am working on it.

Regards,

Obie
