I just got off work and needed a shave, but my truck doesn't have AC and it was pushing 40 degrees today in the valley. Needless to say I was soaked and wanted nothing to do with hot water. Even my shower was barely tepid. I have heard a few of you guys talking about cold shaving on a regular basis. I have always been one of those other guys that thought you were just a little off your rocker. But today was just the day to try it out.
I used my Merkur 34c HD loaded with a Rapira PL(x5), Pre de Provence, and finished it off with Forever Living - Gentleman's Pride ASB
Was I ever surprised! I have always thought that the hot water somehow added to the quality of shave, but this 3+ pass shave ended with my face BBS. I don't know if I'll do it full time, but on days like today, a cold water shave is exactly what the doctor ordered.
