    sol92258 I have no earthly idea

    depends on several factors: how much time do I have, what condition is my skin in, what am I shaving with, etc...

    short on time, or skin feeling rough...1xWTG, 1xXTG, touchups
    shaving with known less-sharp blade, or one with several shaves on it...same as above
    skin in good shape, good blade, or just feel like being smooth like butter on a bald monkey....1xWTG, 2xXTG(opposite directions), 1xATG, touchup

    Generally two passes. The first WTG, the second XTG. Sometimes I miss bits though and have to go over them again. I only very rarely go ATG on my neck and then only if I have an Astra blade in the razor. Otherwise there would be blood and irritation.

    That's why everyone's replies take so long. It's hard to type with one hand.
