You just shaved. You are about to post about your BBS on B&B. But was is really a BBS? How do you know?
Two things really help me distinguish BBS From a DFS:
1. No stubble when rubbing my hand ATG.
2. The no stubble feeling lasts into the afternoon.
+1 to this.As per the definition of BBS in the B&B Wiki (Abbreviations):
"Baby butt smooth. A completely smooth shave result. Circular rubbing pattern with the fingertips can't detect any sort of stubble left, period. See also DFS, CCS and SAS."
Same here. The neck will feel super smooth WTG, but there's a little stubble when I stroke against the grain. Shaving that area is weird enough, using my right hand to move the razor in a rather awkward fashion toward the back of my neck. And soap makes the area too slippery for me to tighten the skin. So I settle for "looks nice, feels good, no irritation."I typically do 3 full passes plus a touch up pass with the hope of getting a BBS shave. And I usually do. This morning I was rushed so I did a two pass shave. WTG and ATG. No touch up. And can't believe it was a BBS shave everywhere except on the left side of my neck which is impossible for me to get BBS. I just got lucky I guess.
It's easy to be lucky when one uses 4 passes. I think 4 passes (not 3 passes) should be the standard for everyone who has tough whiskers, and that usually means anyone older than middle aged. My fourth pass is the same as the first pass, N to S.Four passes, consistent BBS. Daily shaver. No irritation. I'm lucky.
