I learned real quick that BBS is not practical for me and I'm totally ok with that. 2 pass is my limit and usually I do a single pass shave. My goal is to not look like a bum and to enjoy the process.
Use an electric razor and you will get a BBS Shave. But you won't get a good shave. The electric pulls on the whiskers and then they rebound under the skin. A couple hours later and you have stubble all over. The test of a good shave is how long you can go without having to shave again.
Disagree with some of this. While I agree there isn’t a magical blade/razor combination, I disagree there is a best blade for your beard. I think hunting that down is a fool’s errand. I believe there are better razor/blade combinations for your beard and those should be striven for.
As for BBS, I think you end on the right point, you shoot for what you want to shoot for. For me, that’s BBS. I love the BBS feeling, but there are also different level of BBS. There are some BBS shaves where my beard comes back in the later afternoon, and others where it is the early evening (Blackbird). While the Blackbird gives me my single favorite shave, I can’t use it more than two days in a row due to irritation.
I pick and choose what I am looking for every day and how I want to get there, and smell afterwards 😊. For me, that is the joy of the wet shaving hobby.
Thanks for watching! I don’t think we disagree at all. Everyone has favorite combinations of blade/razor that work best for them. But there isn’t one blade for any given razor for all people.
Good points I completely agree with. Cold/Warm water for me is a seasonal thing, other than that I feel no real difference.
Same, I can't tell a difference other than it's refreshing to use cold on warmer days.
Spot on!!
Excellent advice Shane, the only time I introduce cold water is at the end of the shave to close the pores.
Nice! I end up using cold water pretty often. It feels good and that's good enough for me.
Me too. Then I use alum block. Then witch hazel. Then aftershave.
Some of my favorite shaves are two down passes with the grain and leaving it at that. I have to shave too hard to get near BBS on my face and head. Even if I do get a very close, smooth shave. My beard hairs are dark and thick, so it looks like I'm getting 5'oclock shadow soon after shaving. Trying to get glassy smooth may buy me an extra hour or two.
BBS ideology instilled from boot camp. The quickest way to get a demerit slip pulled was to have dark coarse hair.
Thanks for your service!
Yes, thank you for your service!
I always thought that hot water prior to the shave, softens the whiskers to make it easier to cut the whiskers.
To me that’s a pre-shave thing, but yes I agree. Most people use a shower for this. I’m mainly talking about water temp during the shave itself.
@@blacklandrazors Thank you very much for responding. I greatly appreciate it.
All good points. One I would add is the 3 pass shave. Why scrape anymore than you have to? One pass with the grain, maybe a second clean-up as needed and done.
People doing the with, against and sideways over and over are just wasting soap, blades and irritating their skin.
That’s in Part 1! Couldn’t agree more.
Shane telling it like it is, one video at a time.
Thank you Shane. You’re videos have been very informative and helpful. By the way, I am loving my new Blackbird Lite! 🪒 = 😁 100% 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
