Well I've been at this for 3-4 weeks now and I finally achieved my first BBS shave. As if that wasn't enought, I got a second BBS last night :biggrin:
A couple of revelations and adjustments were the key for me.
1. On my face N-S is mostly cross-grain. Chin to ear is actually with-the-grain.
2. Just below my jawline is a set of difficult hairs that respond much better to two against-the-grain passes than to 4+ with-grain or croos-grain.
3. The ideal setting, for me, on my Vision is more open between S and I. (here VIS*ION)
In these shaves I used passes as follows:
1 With grain (except problem spot)
2 Cross grain (except problem spot)
2 Against grain (problem spot only)
Couple of small Touch and Cuts
BBS #1
1. Hot towels
2. Prorasso pre-shave
3. Hot Taylor's Lavendar prepped in the god-like Moss Scuttle
4. Vision set between S and I (VIS*ION)
5. Crappy Walgreens alchohol based Which Hazel
6. C&E Sienna after shave balm.
No rash couple of tiny wheepers. BBS!!!!
BBS #2
1. Hot towels
2. Prorasso pre-shave
3. Another hot towel on top of the preshave
4. Hot Prorasso cream prepped in the god-like Moss Scuttle
4. Vision set between S and I (VIS*ION)
5. Crappy Walgreens alchohol based Which Hazel
6. Prorasso after shave balm.
No rash, NO nicks, BBS!!!!
I made my wife feel it like 10 times :rolleyes:
I am such a happy man!
