Is it possible to get a 100% clean shave?

You know the saying right? You build a thousand bridge and you're a bridge builder, but you ---- one goat and.... well the last part I forget so you get to choose

 

Couln't have said it better, Joe!

 

I think it depends upon your beard. I read from guys here who say they can get BBS with 2-3 passes; I'm assuming my beard is stouter than most, because I go 6 passes plus touch up, and I've given up ever getting BBS on my upper lip and neck. Can't achieve it.

 

Two year old thread. OP made 3 posts, hasn't been seen since.

 

So?

 

OP yes its possible, but once you start stretching you skin and try to check for some hair after your done shaving you will notice very little hair, point is to check for hair without stretching your skin and have your head standing normal as it would usual and check like that for leftover hair. I always get either BBS or DFS but I do the 3 passes + small touch up.

 

Sorry. You are correct.

 

I've tried everything and no matter what I still look 58 years old. My face feels smooth though.

 

I wonder if the op ever figured it out?

 

Sometimes it's just not a good idea to go too far..

 

I have a very thick red beard. It grows wonderfully. I can shave twice a day if I want to, but I prefer to NOT. Since my beard color is lighter, I can get away with not shaving more than most. Sure...I can feel it...it is super scratchy, but you probably can't see it like guys with black beards. Is it 100% if I let it go a day?? NO! Of course, you can't see it, so it looks 100%.

There us a big difference between looking 100% bbs and feeling 100% bbs.

There are guys that use makeup, shave 2 times a day, etc...but I say...do what is comfortable. As long as you are happy...who cares?
