THE MENTHOL PLAN Cold water shaving with mentholated products.
Not this guy. Vics VapoRub released a lemon scent just in time for summertime menthol fun. 
Enjoy the cool 
shaves.

Highs in the 50s and rainy around here, so cannot wait for the warm weather!! 
Then, floral soaps (Haslinger’s marigold) paired with menthol splashes (like Floid and Proraso green)!

I'm prepared for this summer, as this is what I just ordered recently...
Also a PNW guy and it just feels like spring is getting here quite slowly this year. I’m ready to skip spring and head straight into summer!Highs in the 50s and rainy around here, so cannot wait for the warm weather!!

I use menthol splashes year round though!!
hmmmm, yes it was about 88 here today and the humidity washed in on the first of the month. will be here till about october 20th or so. I was considering my stirling barbershop this evening, but the margaritas in the arctic does sound good. yes I think that will do just fine with my artist club. well, better get to it.
Always smart to have a plan! Well done.
Just got a new bottle of Sterling's mentholated lime and coconut a/s to go with a homemade shave stick of the same scent. Already using cold water. IN.

This morning I think I'll break out the Sudsy Soapery Frosted Lemon shave soap.
Its soap, sudsy operation aromatic protection! Activate the super lather production, sudsy to the extreme, slick to the 10th powered squared. Achievement unlocked: Mighty fine lather.
I've had a tub of Stirling's glacial Citron just waiting for hot weather.
A bottle of Captain's Choice Nor'easter is also waiting in the wings.

Cold water shaving?
Unless my water heater break down, thanks but no thanks, but I always use a sponge with cold water after the shave to close the pores. (If that counts.
)But now that you mentioned it, I haven’y used my 444 for quite some time…

My plan was to let time wound all heels, but breaking open the puck of Mama Bear Polar may keep me chill enough to hang tight with the first plan. Maybe some Chiseled Face Cryogen if I can nab it.
You people with your four seasons --! It's been hot enough here for cold water shaving (though I haven't done it yet) since mid-March; and that heat will last until December. Perhaps I'll run the water cold tomorrow!
Sam, you used Mama Bear Bay Rhum last December. Then, after rejoicing the 3017 of your Williams, you treated yourself to two tubs of @Captain Pre-Capsize ’s treasures.
I mean from other people, you silly luvburd! and wiki stalker!
I read your journal every day. It’s my soap opera.
I hadn't heard of that soap. I can't buy another soap. I can't buy another soap. I can't buy another soap. . .
This afternoon for my 36-hour-beard shave, I went ahead with the cold water. Since the outside temp is something like 92 F. now, the water was not icy cold as it would (or might) be in January -- but it was enough for me to notice the feeling on my skin. As far as I can tell the water worked as well or better than using warm-to-hot.
Stirling Barbershop tallow soap, a champagne-gold postwar fat-handled Tech loaded with a Feather blade, Chiseled Face Midnight Stag aftershave, and a little Clubman powder made for a fine 20 minutes.
