Having been intrigued by 9nein9's experience, I've been doing a cold water shave from start to finish for the last 5 shaves. I have to say that I've actually enjoyed them. My shave routine is simple -- a cold water face splash, wet the brush, load the brush and face lather. I rinse the razor in cold water and after the requisite passes and touch-up, I do a final rinse with cold water. The cold water is both bracing and refreshing. It's probably not for everybody (perhaps you need to be a touch masochistic ) -- I would recommend trying it if you haven't -- and I can't say every shave I'll do from here on out will be done solely in cold water, but I'll think my shaves will be on the cool side for the foreseeable future.

Flintstone 15 demerits, as well as showing up on the list for the Cartel again. Seriously though, I won't put off the cold water completely, but for the whole thing, not my cup of tea.

That's a great piece of history there . I wouldn't actually say it sucked when I tried it, not as comfortable as warm water but I would try it again. I'd shave with ice cold water before I'd ever use the goo or the plastic unmentionable garbage (Fuzzy was here.)(can I say that on here?) ( nope)ever again. Just my 2 cents. Fixed that post for you.....Eh. Thanks eh. I had a better word for it but I never use those words on here .
