poll-hot towels after shaving

So how many use a hot towel after you finish and then for that matter do a cold water rinse. That's what I do. Very invigorating.

No, I don't use hot towels. I'd love to, but can't find the additional time I have in the morning to prepare them.

I do however rinse my face after my last pass with hot water, then of course the cold water rinse, witch hazel, and A/S splash or balm.

Then of course once I'm changed

Hadn't heard of the practice before. I'll give it a try in the morning.

Sometimes I like to rub in a nice after shave balm and then put on the hot towel............... and sometimes even follow that with a cold towel.

So much fun!!

I usually like to do a warm rinse to get off excess lather/residue and then usually a blam. The warm is nice because it's usually cold-ish in my apartment (at least in the winter). In the summer, I like a cold rinse and then some super secret AS gel.

I loved the hot towel that I got decades ago with a barber shop shave. I tried the micro-wave pre shave hot towel and for me it was more trouble than it was worth. I've never thought about a post shave hot towel. Bet it cleans the pores big time.

Hot towels are girlie stuff.

Real men use an aftershave balm, skin tonic, light day cream, moisturising protective cream, and some light powder.

I use a hot towel, right out of a hot shower, pre-shave oil, lather, a hot towel right over the lather, re-lather, shave, cold water rinse, a splash of witch hazel, a/s balm, and a spray of edc/edt lower than the shave area, like lower neck and upper chest. Hot towels are a awesome part of the shave.

When I have time to treat myself. I start with a Hot Towel with a few drops of lavender EO on it. Then go through pre-shave, hot lather, shave. Then I will do a Hot towel after. then a cold towel before the AS.
