What exactly is BBS?

[markevens]

BBS should be exactly that; as smooth as a baby's butt, no matter what direction you rub.

I certainly can't get that in one pass, but I haven't even been shaving with a straight for a year. I can only get BBS on my cheeks, using 3 passes, but man oh man do I love that smooth shave when I do it.

Why not Baby Face Smooth? Isn't a Baby's face as smooth as it's butt?

HOWDY, I GOT A FAIRLY GREAT, IF NOT FANTASTIC BBS EARLIER TODAY, DID IT WILL A PRETTY WELL USED 1/2 DORCO DE SAFETY BLADE IN A PARKER MADE TYPE SHAVETTE, DID IT WITH LOTS OF FACE PREP, TOOK MY TIME MULTIPLE HOT WATER RINSING, HOT TOWEL SOAK ON MY FACE FOR A GOOD 4 MINUTES AND USE A DECENT PRE/SHAVE TREATMENT. A REALLY COLD, COLD WATER RINSE AFTER ABOUT 4 PASSÉ'S WITH HOT AND DID MY TOUCH/UPS WITH MUCH THOUGHT AND PATIENTS. IT WAS WORTH IT!! RUB MY FACE IN ANY DIRECTION AND NO STUBBLE. BUT FELLOW WET SHAVERS THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND WHEN IT DOESN'T THE SHAVE IS STILL BETTER THAN ANYTHING I USE TO GET WITH CANED CREAM AND DISPOSABLE PLASTIC THROWAWAY SO CALLED RAZORS. ITS WORTH IT GENTS, JUST KEEP UP, WE GET BETTER WITH EVERY SHAVE, AND THE LITTLE WOMAN SEEMS TO THINK THE FACE FEELS WORTH IT TOO!

LIKE ANY SKILL, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

A GOOD SHAVE TO ALL, WITH ALL MY BEST.
