Thanked: 5ATG, like starting from scratch
Well, the good news is that I got BBS on (most) of my cheeks and on my chin, but it cost me.
Saturday night is me time to try new stuff. I don't go to church on Sunday, and there's nobody to see how much I hack up my face.
I've been getting very good 2 pass shaves for a few weeks now, but in the absence of the ATG pass, I could never claim BBS.
Going ATG was like going back to square one for me. Short strokes, trembling hands, lots of razor drag. But I know the path to true BBS passes through here.
So, I decided to go ATG, regardless of the ill effects. I prepped, and did my WTG and XTG passes without incident. But that ATG pass was a brute. It was an effort to relax and absorb the punishment, but I did so.
I guess it was a decent first step. I didn't slice open my neck or cheeks, but I was glowing as red as I was a couple of months ago when I had my first SR shave.
My conclusion: true ATG requires the keenest edge possible, and consumate razor control. I'm working on both of these, and I hope I will be able to claim BBS on these areas before long.
Me ... shinnying up the learning curve
