Hello gogw!
I live in Lempäälä, a neighbourhood of Tampere and 95 km from Riihimäki.
Oh yeah, sauna is a really good prep. It's a little bit slow but if I want to take an extra long and relaxing shave I warm up the sauna and shave after that. Much more easier to get BBS (even with cartridges) when skin is completely heated and bristles so soft than they can ever be. One benefit of sauna and löyly ( new finnish word for you, might already know that, hot steam) is that skin heat stays a longer time than with hot towels.
talk soon
