I realized that I seriously hijacked the Hot or Cold water thread (poll) so I decided to start another thread.
Cold water day 2.
Razor: '59 Red Tip
Blade: Personna Med Prep
Brush: Black Badger
Soap: Captains Choice 45th. Parallel, bowl lather
Pre: cold water face wash
Post: cold water rinse
Seemed like the lather took longer still this morning but the brush is still new and I was using a smaller bowl. I took a little longer washing my face this morning and got a little better soak I think. Same 2 pass shave with touch up, this morning the shave was a DFS. I still don't care much for the shock of the cold water, I should add that our tap water is very cool, actually cold would describe it better. The blade I used this morning only had a couple of shaves on it while the Feather I used yesterday had at least five and probably 6 or 7 so it was probably a little dull, still comfortable though. I feel like I'm getting the cold water dialed in but I'll give it tomorrow and Saturday to make up my mind.
