    The only hot shaves I've had in this time has been from barbers

    I've been shaving with cold water this week and liking it. Just might save the hot water for cold winter mornings.

    I got on the cold water shave bandwagon last fall. There were some interesting threads on the subject then. I see no reason to ever again turn the hot water handle on my bathroom sink. That first splash at 4am on a February morning is a real skin bracer...

    +1 on trying this a cold water shave.

    A cold water shave is wonderful, especially in the summer (IMHO). Now, a cold water shave without soap...that is a good edge test

    I've been shaving cold for more years than I can recall. Works well for me though YMMV.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I've been trying out the cold water shaves this summer. I'm finishing off my shower with cold water then going to tepid water in the scuttle and cold water rinses. I've noticed less irritation on my neck for sure.
