Thread: Cold Water Shave

Whether he invented it or not and even though he was not alone in the practice I think JimmyHAD has done an excellent job Mentoring many of us toward a much simpler way of shaving.

Thank you Jimmy for pointing out how well it works! (I finally understood the point of rubbing in after beginning the practice which I had previously skipped)

I have no plans for adding further steps going super cold- i take it as it comes from the source.

Your welcome Kevin. I am in hiding now because the manufacturers of scuttles and hot lather gizmos have a contract out on me.

Truth is it really surprised me as to how well it worked and how comfortable it feels. It saves time, electricity and simplifies the process a great deal.

I only use tap water however cold it is out of the faucet too. I understand the guys that prefer the hot water shave but I'm not one of them.

I do buy the concept that hot water softening the whisker is counter productive and cold stiffening it makes for easier cutting.
