Here is my method:
Click on: Image, then Adjustments, then Channel Mixer.
A window opens.
On that window, click in the block bottom left that says Monochrome.
The image will look black&white.
Use the sliders to give your image different looks as if taken with coloured filters.
Click OK when you like the tonal values.
Hope that helps?
Yeah pretty much waht I do as well. Also I use Desaturate with the Color Channels to get the desired tonal effect. Works in either case. Then it is contrasting it, and adding, or subtracting noise for the final appearance.
NEVER NEVER NEVER desaturate for black and white. It destroys tonal range.

I’m in RAW all the time witch mean when I transfer you see the picture in color, that’s mean your color it’s not lost; from that base, you can change to B & W because you’ve seen those picture before the camera click.
Only the fact to eliminate the color in the camera, it remote the distracting color, the way to see different it’s magic!
