I’m curious what your favorite shave is.
My favorite shave is taking off a full beard with a straight or shavette. For obvious reasons I don’t do this often, but is is satisfying to see the beard come off with a razor that doesn’t get clogged up. I have taken beards off with cartridges, DEs, SEs, straights and shavettes. The unguarded blade is the easiest and most satisfying way to get the beard off. Carts, DEs and even SEs really need to have the beard reduced to stubble with trimmers or they get hopelessly clogged and are more likely to result in nicks.
I can get a daily BBS with a DE, SE, straight or shavette, and those are satisfying, but removing a full beard to a BBS with an unguarded blade adds in a fun factor.
