Thread: How hot is too hot?

I too have followed the "there is no too hot" setting with shaving. Granted I'm new but I really like the feel of hotter lather. If it means I have to replace on of my brushes a little sooner. I'm ok with that.

The water from my tap (faucet?) is set to 60C. It seems to cope.

I read this and just spewed my favorite cold beverage on my keyboard!

For me, warm water to make lather and cool water on the face. Not that I think hot is bad for my brush, it's just that my face gets easily irriated when I use hot water.

Have you ever tried warm./hot ? Pre shave oil?

Yah, I use pre-shave oil to help things along. Can't say it helps a lot but definitely doesn't hurt! As for warm/hot, I probably did a long time ago, but if I did it's been so long I don't remember. Guess I could give it a try, but hate to break my routine now. Wife always chides me for my ruts and being reluctant to change.
