Awesome. Thanks a ton. The 5x mirror sounds like a great idea. I'll try your 3rd suggestion for stretching as well. To answer the previous question, I use Arko, Tabac, KMF, hydrolast, VDH, Cella, and Creamo. I know how to lather! I will add towels and lather to the prep in addition to the hot shower, conditioner, and Prorasso pre/post. The cold water sounds interesting. I wonder if that helps tighten the skin?
