Question for DE shavers about BBS

[sproosemoose]

Hi,

I think I am going to give up on regularly trying to get a BBS shave, first because it is more likely to cause burn and also maybe my expectation of BBS is too high.

Please vote on the poll

[Dennard]

I voted yes in the poll. DFS is close enough that only I notice it's not BBS. That's fine with me.

[mkevenson]

Poll is flawed. I try for BBS every time but not to the point of irritation. I don't try HARD tho, more soft!!!!!

[DFrancis]

I go for BBS and achieve it mostly on my cheeks with no irritation or razor burn. Just lots of lather before every pass.

+1 ........I never try hard for BBS, usually I can do it, but if my face feels irritated for some reason, I will settle for DFS or even just a one pass touch up as a way to let my face rest.

[Greyfox]

Most of my shaves are BBS without getting burns. It's all about technique.

[dod.e.ratherwell]

I go for BBS all the time but half way throught the second pass I can tell if I am going to get there that day. If not no big I either end at 2 passes or just continue on with an enjoyable time of a good enough three passer.

Been shaving for over 45 years so claiming a BBS shave is not important to me. I just want a nice comfortable shave so DFS or even CCS is perfect. I actually try to avoid BBS because I do not like the feel of my face after one.

This says it to a T. I'll take the BBS if it comes along, but the DFS is great, and the CCS more than fits the bill.

I go for a BBS when I can. In the past BBS comes with razor burns and irritations so I settle for CCS just to rest my face. But as my technique improved, more of my BBS attempts are coming out burn/irritation free. So if I have the time, why not!!

One thing to add: once I get a BBS, the next shave is almost just a touch-up.

Like some of the others here, DFS is normally fine. No one at work is going to notice the difference. I'f I'm taking SWMBO out (or planning on staying in ) then I'll take the extra time and care for a BBS.

DFS is fine with me. It gives me an excuse to shave again tomorrow

[ShavelockFoams]

DFS is fine, but for some reason I always want to get BBS on my neck. Part of it is that having stubble rub on the collar is really annoying.

[pauls51]

For me a DFS is good enough, However I am always going for the elusive BBS so I can continue to improve on my technique

This.

[proxymoron]

I'm only ever after DFS but sometimes end up with BBS. If it's been a couple of days, I might go ATG just for kicks.

[jsrdrnr]

Being a woman I go for BBS daily. I dont have the sensitive skin issue to worry about and legs take a lot more abuse than a face will.

[nav]

Always go for BBS. I get there 95% of the time with 3 passes.

[SRock]

My goal is always DFS but I typically get BBS more than DFS. So long as I get a shave quality that is acceptable for uniform and no irritation I'm happy. Call it DFS, BBS or just a great shave.
