A "pass" refers to a shave that covers each bewhiskered part of the face and neck once. A shaver may make more than one pass when shaving. A pass may be with the direction that the hairs grow ("with the grain," or [[WTG]]), across the direction of hair growth ("across the grain," or [[XTG]]), or against the direction of hair growth ("against the grain," or [[ATG]]).

If only part of the face is shaved, this is a "partial pass." A shaver may, for example, make a "partial ATG pass" on a troublesome part of the neck. Of course, one may speak casually of a "pass" when a partial pass is meant: "This morning I shaved WTG and XTG, then took a [[Shaving against the grain on the upper lip - The Fool's Pass|ATG pass at my upper lip]] and got it [[BBS]]!"
