.........before shaving.
Am I the only one who doesn't take a hot shower before shaving?
The reason I don't is because I sweat like a pig easily and would be sweating profusely when I finished up with a hot shower. Hell, I sweat reading the newspaper.
I follow the routine I saw on Lynn's DVD, I throw some warm water on my face, followed by a hot towel for a couple of minutes. Then I lather up my face and put a hot towel on it again for another couple of minutes.
Usually by now I can see some sweat beading on my forehead. I shave WTG, and then ATG, and THEN I take a shower, turning the water cold at the end to close up the pores.
