I love the routine of the Sunday shave when I step out of the hot shower, lather up and put a hot towel over the lather. Then I rinse with hot water and lather up again and let it soak in before shaving. Then a cold water rinse and witch hazel followed by organic shea butter.

I don’t know if the pre-shave routine improves the shave, but I get 45 minutes alone in the bathroom taking care of me once a week and my wife doesn’t mind.
