It is not my intention to offend anyone with the following question but, why is it too cold to shave? We have been in the negative temps here but, I find that my beard grows thicker/quicker in the winter temps than it does in the summer temps. Just curious if anyone else experiences this?Friday, January 24, 2025

Not me, but I shave cold for the whole shave, so might be a bit chilly at first and then it is all the same.Just curious if anyone else experiences this?
No offense taken. We had -4° with a wind coming off the lake 3 straight days this past week. Dries out my face and feels crappy. No reason to shave when all I need to do is work outside on my firewood stacks, and walk my new dog.It is not my intention to offend anyone with the following question but, why is it too cold to shave?

That I understand all too well. I spent the last few days at our lake house on Lake Erie and it’s frigid for sure. Plus, I get better, more satisfying shaves with a couple of days growth. Stay warm!No offense taken. We had -4° with a wind coming off the lake 3 straight days this past week. Dries out my face and feels crappy.

And....I've become a cranky, lazy old man, I guess.

My face seems more relaxed with a cold shave. Not sure why, that’s just the way it is.Not me, but I shave cold for the whole shave, so might be a bit chilly at first and then it is all the same.
