Not sure about the cold water shave. Doesn't feel any closer, and cold lather kinda sucks. However my chin area does feel less irritated. Maybe when it's 120° outside this summer I'll opt for it.
Have a great week everyone!

Thanks for the compliments. Dan is the man! I think my other razors are going to take a backseat role for the next little while.
Ah She is a beauty to behold, thank you for sharingQuote:

ASB: Nivea for Men “Extreme Comfort “
AS: Musgo Real “Classic Scent”
Result: BBS...
I've been testing Lucky Tiger brushless shave cream for several days now as a possible substitute for Proraso pre-post shave. I am very impressed. It not only gives me some of the closest BBS shaves I have ever had, but when followed up with my aftershave balm leaves my skin as soft as a baby's bottom. Lucky Tiger is definitely a keeper in my shaving book.

Aftershave: Alum Block / Aqua Velva Musk
