    Default Things really came together tonight, BBS on chin and neck even

    I just had the best shave of my 6 months of straight shaving.

    First I have to say I usually go for the serviceable shave, and only go for the ATG/BBS once every couple of weeks. Tonight I decided I wanted one of those nice, patient close shaves.

    I was so relaxed today. The razor has long since become an extension of my hand, and I've gotten to know my growth patterns an a very intricate level. I guess tonight I was just in that zone, and the patience, developing technique, and knowledge of my face all came together for the smoothest shave I've gotten yet. For the first time, even my chin and neck are BBS.

    I honestly never thought I'd ever get BBS on my chin and neck. The hair on those two spots grows in odd patterns and angles are really hard to get right. Tonight I know it is possible. Its great to see that I'm still progressing, even if it is in slower more subtle ways.

    +1. It is very satisfying indeed.

    I'm only about 3 months in and I long to be where you are right now. I get a pretty good shave in two passes, but I wish I could go ATG.

    My neck is a nightmare as well. I don't know what I'll do there.

    Great job here,

    That's how it goes. Little by little things get better and one day you realize what it is all about: perfect shave.

    Great to hear and once I hit the BBS mark, I never looked back and its always BBS or nothing.

    Way to go on hitting it! A great example of how it only gets better.
