Products for cold water shaving

[M80]

I am an avid cold water shaver. I have refined my technique and get great shaves with cold water. I would like to hear form other cold water shavers about what products they use and what products work well with cold water and what products do not work well with cold water.

I am still a relative noob when it comes to products, and have not used a wide variety. I normally shave with Proraso cream and find it works well with cold water. I can build later well with it using cold water. I also have a Speick stick and I find that performs well with cold water. I have some Creamo Cream, and have found the creamo does not perform as well with cold water as with hot water. Creamo just doesn't have the slickness you get with hot water, when you use cold water.

Lets hear it cold water shavers. What do you use? What works? What does not work?

I used Cade last week with cold water and got great results. I alternated between my badger and my boar brushes and got similar lather with both.

Anything with menthol would feel great with cold water

^ For real. A cold-water Proraso shave will definitely wake you up in the morning.

I'll also concur with this suggestion. When I was trying out cold water wet shaving, Proraso products seemed to work quite well. I did notice, however, that generating later using cold water too a little extra effort, which may sense because heat aids in accelerating chemical transformations.
