Title: HOW many "passes"?
Post by: warhawk on April 30, 2010, 08:18:19 AM: hello fellow chrome domes: during your head shaving routine, how many passes (of the razor) does it take b4 U rinse out your blade before "scraping" your noggin' again? i noticed that i rinse my razor after two passes. if i am in a "hurry" i go 3-4 passes on the dome b4 i rinse it.

so... how 'bout U? how many passes does it take b4 U rinse your razor while head shaving? one? two? three? four? what's your story?

Post by: mangosink12572 on April 30, 2010, 12:51:14 PM: I use a different razor for the sides -than I do for the dome
The sides, I rinse each time as the sides are much thicker hair - - and I do the sides every day
The dome, unfortunately, does not require many strokes and I lightly shave the fuzz 3-4 times before rinsing - almost every day

Post by: BillOnBass on April 30, 2010, 03:17:29 PM: I do 1 pass then rinse with the Headblade going with the grain (though on top of the head it's technically against the grain) then 2-3 passes against the grain with the Fusion. From what I've read in other posts I don't understand how some of you guys go against the grain with the HB ??? Way too awkward.

Post by: Xanwolf1337 on April 30, 2010, 06:08:02 PM: I tend to do one or two passes depending if it is at the sides or the top or back of my head, although with my new razor that i got about 2 days ago, it tends to get me and the floor very wet if i shave in the sink because the blade handle channels all the water down and goes everywhere ;D, so i try to go two passes at least.

Post by: Dan-O-Mite on May 03, 2010, 04:42:26 AM: I'm in the 3-5 range, just depends on how much lather I've got built up and if its not leaving a clean track when I make a pass.
