Does anyone who uses a DE just do one pass?
I have done, though I find the three-pass shave worth the extra couple of minutes (I can do three passes in five minutes). If I'm being lazy, I'll only take one minute with a single pass with the cartridge, though I'v never had an ingrown hair after a DE shave, only the cartridge. In all honesty, I'd throw the Mach 3 away but for the fact that I shave my head and I cannot manage the angle require to do that with a DE by myself.
Notably, though, I find that even with a single pass I tend to get a better shave from the DE than the Mach III. I've has skin irritations from the cartridge, but never from a three-pass DE shave.
