    Default How many passes do you normally do?

    I'm just curious to see what everyone's normal routine is like. I go WTG and XTG for my face, then WTG for my neck.

    I normally do two passes.

    WTG and XTG on my face.

    WTG twice on my neck. I still cannot seem to find a way to get XTG on my neck as my hair grows north to south, so it is awkward.

    My chin usually needs a little extra touching up, but that does not count as a pass.

    I generally do 4 passes....WTG, ATG, XTG and the final pass is a very very light WTG pass and seems to make the shave last longer...almost a polishing pass....don't do much in the way of clean up.

    My technique has improved to the point where I can get by with one on most of my face/neck but two maximum. Some days only the one. Depends on the razor.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    If I'm shaving every day, I do WTG, XTG, and a little cleanup.

    If I'm skipping days, I do WTG, XTG, and ATG.

    I usually do two: WTG and XTG and then a few clean up swipes for any bits I missed.

    I never do ATG as my skin is quite sensitive and the ATG pass sets my face on fire..!

    I usually do two passes to get BBS. If it isn't enough then first thing to do is to get razor back to barber hone.

    I usually go WTG for my first pass, then XTG on face only, then ATG on cheeks and neck area. It's around the lip area that I have to be the most focused and I do XTG around this area, sometimes going ATG lower lip.

    for my daily shave i do one pass. WTG down my side burns XTG on my Cheeks and Jaw and WTG on my neck. Its not a BBS but close enough for my daily needs. I to 3 passes and maybe a touch up if i want a slicker than snot shave.
