Does anyone stick to one pass shaving? One lather only? I just tried one ATG pass today, not satisfactory, but I may try some single WTG shaved. I'm not fussy about closeness.
Anyone just shave one pass?

Nope. 2 minimum and normally 3.

Sometimes ... and my Blackbird is up to the task.

Rarely. I hate sharpened stubble, which is what one pass leaves me.
Usually 2-3 passes. Rarely ATG. I'll do a 1 passer if I feel like I need to give my face a break but still want to shave.

Yup, if I do it, it has to be a very efficient razor like an R41 or probably like you Blackbird.
Only if I’m in a hurry, which I seldom am. I prefer 2 passes for my best shave.
I typically go with a 2 pass WTG/XTG. But I do go for a 1 pass sometimes, if I'm in a hurry or have had a bit of irritation on previous shaves. When I do, I get a good enough shave.

No; I've tried it once or twice, but it wasn't good for my skin to go over and over the same patch of face, as the lather disappears. My cheeks are usually 90% clean-shaven with one pass, but my chin and especially my neck need three full passes, with fingertips checking my work, before I get a comfortable shave. I like it; slow and calming, with results I can feel as they occur.
Yes, but it's hardly worth it. It takes at least 2 minutes to wet my face and build some lather. Cleanup after shaving takes a minute. Each pass takes a minute. So a one-pass shave is 4 minutes and a three-pass shave is 6 minutes. I usually take longer of course, but if I'm in a hurry, that will do it. No big advantage to a one-pass shave for me.
For 50 years one and done. Well except when I had a date. Learned that courtesy from Dad.
Recently compared a couple of soaps and did 2 passes to assess protection. Since there's already soap in the brush I'm now doing 2 passes instead of one.

I like three passes, partly because I love the scent of the soaps and partly because my wife loves the results.

I've tried a one-pass shave a few times, but didn't care for the results; the shaves felt incomplete. If I am going to spend time gathering my gear and loading the brush, I might as well go ahead and reward myself with a "proper" multi-pass shave. If I'm in a hurry, I'll probably skip the shave altogether; not many of my past hurried shaves have ended well for me.
I do one pass, but usually with some cleanup. I like steep ATG for single pass shaves, but my skin likes shallow ATG and prefers neutral to shallow WTG even more.
One pass if I my razor is well honed!
I've done one pass shaves, but only when I was rushing to get out the door. I've tried separate single pass WTG and ATG shaves. WTG is a little more comfortable, but the ATG is a little closer.
If at all possible, I prefer a 2 or 3 pass shave.

Every day. I always do a single XTG pass. It works fine for me, though only because I typically shave every day. I would do more but tends to be rough on my skin, and multiple passes are simply not worth that.
