Thread: Washing face after shaving

The other day I was talking to a younger friend of mine who just started learning the art of SR shaving. I explained to him how I wash my face after a shave with cold water, to still some irritation and close the pores, before putting on aftershave lotion, if needed. My sister overheard our conversation and said that when she has removed her makeup she is washing her face with lukewarm water and later with cold. This is to cleanse all the pores so there won't be anything trapped inside when the cold water closes them.

Not sure if the same principles applies to shaving, the products we use don't have much in common with makeup (I guess). But it kind of makes sense to clean your face before closing the pores with cold water, so there won't be any soap or cream stuck there. I started doing this now. Better safe than sorry

Just thought I'd share this, since I hadn't really though of it maybe there is someone else who haven't...
