How critical of your shaves are you

[Wayne]

As the title. How critical of your shaves are you? Are you happy with a DFS or are you disappointed if you still feel a little stubble rubbing your hand ATG of if you missed a bit and don't achieve a BBS every shave?

 

[Stonec0ld]

I don't chase BBS, but I do get a bit miffed if I run my hand and find what feels like a tuft in a spot on my chin

 

[culcreuch]

Disappointed if I feel stubble

 

[Northam Saint]

Don’t get hung up about it if it’s not that brilliant but try to look at why. There’s always tomorrow.

 

[Rowlers]

Certain parts, have to be smoooove. Other areas, like my neck, I am happy that stubble does not show.. I avoid ATG on my neck as it just leads to irritation.

90% of my shaves are aimed for a good decent shave and disappointed if I feel a bit of stubble. But over the years of wet shaving, the bar height has been raised far higher now with better technique

I guess it depends why i'm shaving on that given day. If its a lazy sunday and I have time to get into my zen relaxation mode and take my time I like to be BBS when i'm done. Likewise If i'm going to some sort of function or its date night with the wife i'd strive for BBS (not that i've been going to any functions or had a date night out in the last 12 months lol) But if the shave is just to remove the fluff so I don't scare pets and posties I can settle for anything from SAS to DFS.

DFS is fine with me, my normal shave gives me BBS in parts but I’ve always got stubble feel on my neck as I don’t shave ATG there

 

[Burgundy]

I remember that I used to. I guess I notice it when I pull a razor out of the collection to give a run one but, since the overwhelming majority of my shaves have with a posh Tech on a nice handle for years now, I don’t really think about it at all.

 

[Chris]

I never shave ATG, so I’m happy with DFS.

 

[Steve]

If I happen to have missed a spot after a two-pass WTG, I just shrug my shoulders and tell myself, 'Next time'. Unlike @Wayne, I don't sell the offending razor the next day on BST.

 

[Steve]

I forgot that @Wayne would shim it first. Then sell it.

If a shim wont fix it it's outta here!

 

[Tyke121]

DfS is good enough for me ,Bit disappointed if I feel head stubble after a shave with a modern de but vintage I expect it slightly

 

[MntnMan62]

I am also disappointed when I feel a little stubble against the grain. I shave about twice a week. Since I shave so infrequently now I expect to be able to get BBS every time. But even if I'm disappointed, I don't dwell on it.
