After 8 months and trying pretty much anything i could think of, including gillette slide, j-hooks, buffing, i have arrived to the conclusion, that the easiest way to achieve BBS and without any irritation is... 4 pass shave... WTG, XTG, ATG, XTG the opposite direction. This, because my growth pattern is crazy under the jawline and it's different on the right half of my face than on the left!
Fortunately, i can shave XTG even under the jawline (moving the razor left to right or right to left). If not, it would be impossible to get a BBS.
Is anyone else doing the same?
Another thing that i have observed, is that my stubble has become tougher to cut, after some months into wetshaving. When i was a newb and with rudimentary technique, i could cut everything down, much easier. Now i have to soak my beard in hot water, apply a hydrating cream while i wait for the brush to soak, apply cream again and then lather. This is not my impression, it's a fact. I suspect because after months of all this goodness of Vitamine E, Aloe and i don't know what else that i apply to my skin with the lather, my hair has grown stronger!
