Define BBS, SAS, DFS

I know what these abbreviations stand for, but what do they mean to you?

BBS is easy: you feel no hair when rubbing your face in any direction.The other abbreviations are not so clear cut. I would define DFS as clean looking, but stubble is still there when feeling my face ATG. As for SAS, well I don't even know how to describe that.

Anyway, let me hear how you define these terms.
 
BBS- obviously no stubble whatsoever, also no razor burn or cuts/nicks. a perfect shave.

DFS- still no stubble, but ill allow some burn or cuts/nicks

SAS- everything else.....
 

BigFoot

I wanna be sedated!
If I cut or burn myself I would not rate that as DFS. A DFS IMO is a great shave, you look and feel like you have just had a Damn Fine Shave.

SAS is a good looking shave that may not be your best but would definitely not raise eyebrows in public.

YMMV.

Well, stage 1, definitions

From here: http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/index.php/Abbreviations

BBS - Baby butt smooth. A completely smooth shave result. See also DFS, CCS and SAS.
DFS - Damn Fine Shave. A near-BBS. (see BBS, CCS)
SAS - Socially Acceptable Shave; see also BBS, DFS, and CCS

----

Stage 2 - What do they mean?

BBS - Smooth all directions
DFS - Shave is not smooth in all direction, can be visible stubble but no irritation
SAS - Shave is presentable, there's visibile stubble and irritation (let's face it, that's what most electric shavers have...).
