Maybe you can't answer this, but after reading Pages 50-55 of this book I'm wondering why cold water shaving isn't common knowledge.

I never heard of such a thing until you discussed it earlier this year. When I was a kid in the 60s, barbers used to apply hot lather around the ears and shave with a straight. Naturally I thought shaves were supposed to be hot.

Now I have to try it. Before jumping in the cold water I don't know whether to thank you () or thank you () becuase I sure enjoy that warm lather.
