Baby-Butt Close on first Pass?
Just wondering whether it's reasonable to expect baby-butt closeness on the first, with the grain pass? I'm asking because if the answer is yes then I'll know I have a technique problem that I have to work on. In my case I have to make 3 passes to get baby-butt closeness, 2 with the grain and 1 against.
Assumptions: a quality 6/8, 1/1 or 1/2 hollowed razor honed by people such as Lynn, Bill, etc. A 3 day growth which amounts to light stubble since I don't have a heavy beard.

Thanks for all of that. So it appears that my needing 3 passes is not unusual at all. Good. Also, it seems my technique isn't at fault either. I also learned that even with a great razor sharpened to the highest degree by the pro's it still will take 2-3 passes to get it BBS, which is what I always strive for. That's all very useful information, and I thank you all for providing it.
