Lightbulb How close..?

Is this like horseshoes (closer than the rest) or calculus (approaches but never gets there);- how close is as close as possible (calculus?) and how close is as close as comfortable (college roommates)? Reasonable estimates accepted in fractions of distance between FB and bridge, inches, or centimeters .....
About an Inch or less with the lower part of the hair almost touching the bridge area. This is meant only as an exercise and not a style of playing. true, sometimes you play at the bridge but the lesson/drill I showed about is a Lesson, not a Style.
