How many passes in your daily shave?

WTG, XTG, ATG for a total of a 3 pass shave?

That's my best shave, but I get weepers if I go more than 2 passes and take an ATG.

 

I now do a 3 pass shave. Before I found "My" blades I was doing 5. Green pack 7 O'clocks are awesome

 

Most of the time it is a two pass shave. The first pass is WTG, using short straight strokes.

The second is pretty much XTG, using more or less a long diagonal stroke. That and a few touch-ups here and there is about it.

I can't do ATG often, as it leads to redness and bumps on the neck line. If I have something to do after work and need to have a close shave to last all day I will go ATG. However I don't do it as part of my routine.

 

Three passes and some touch ups.

 

2 pass and touch up. Because my beard grows from nose to ear I do 1 xtg & then 1 atg. If everything is right and the planets align, it's bbs. Otherwise it's a really close shave. Either way I'm happy.

 

Monday thru Friday, the classic one pass with touch up.

Saturday, the luxury two pass shave.

I don't shave ATG and I don't strive for BBS.

 

Lately, 2 passes with a touch up on a couple of tougher to get spots.

 

One with, one across, and one against. Touch up where needed.

 

I started off my first year or so doing 3 passes -- the standard WTG, XTG and ATG... however I never could quite shake the occasional ingrown on my lower neck. Since then I've ditched the ATG pass and still do 3 passes, just now it's WTG, XTG and XTG 180 degrees opposite. No ATG pass on the neck.

 

Three. WTG, XTG, ATG and then followed by a 4th oil pass for blade buffing touch up. Do get a weeper or two now and then if I am not careful on the oil pass. But the shaves are great and fun to do.

 

Three passes for me

 

Day to day it's 2 passes one WTG and one XTG, but when I want a great BBS shave it's 3 passes, one each WTG, XTG, ATG.

 

Since I started shaving with a straight, I now usually do two passes: one with the grain, then one that's across in some places and against in others. Generally followed with a touchup around the bottom of the chin.

 

3 pass....1 WTG and 2 ATG. My face is weird and XTG is only achievable on my checks and upper lip. 4 passes if I wanted the ultimate bbs.

 

2 passes-the first one WTG, the 2nd one ATG, with a little touching up where it's required. Saturday and Sunday, occasionally a 3rd light pass XTG.

 

Normally 3 passes (WTG, XTG, ATG). Quick shave are 2 pass (WTG, XTG), and a few blades take a 4 passes to get a good shave (WTG XTG, XTG, ATG).

 

So far, I am doing basically 2 passes, then touch up, mostly all WTG, though I am beginning to experiment with XTG. I will probably never do ATG b/c it led to bad ingrown hairs years ago when I did it with a cartridge razor. Before starting DE recently, I would do one pass WTG shaves with cartridge disposables.

 

1 Wtg 2 Xtg

 

Non-Slant = 4 passes ( 2 WTG, XTG, ATG)

Slant = 3 passes ( WTG, XTG, ATG)
