This provides as close to BBS as I want to achieve on a daily basis (very close, indeed) with no ill effects to my skin, and I do have sensitive skin. Try it and see if it works for you.

Great Advice! While I go North to South then South to North it gives me a very close shave with no irritation!

I've also found that when I'm doing the lower part of the sideburns if I REALLY Stretch the skin up toward the ear, and shave from the bottom of the ear to the chin, I can get a pass 'under the jawline' and that area ends up with a three pass shave. The rest only gets the two pass and it'll hold for 24 hrs or so!

Keep On Stropping In the Free World!
