    Default Am I crazy?

    Don't get me wrong, I love putting my brush in my makeshift scuttle for nice warm lather, but am I the only one who likes letting the brush get cold in the lather bowl and then for my second and third passes, lather with cold lather? I really like to do it with Proraso, because it feels really good sometimes, with the cooling effect and the cold lather.

    Am I the only one who does this?

    I personally hate cold lather. But if you like it, go ahead.
    I do think cold lather can make your skin constrict, which according to some sources also retracts the hairs a bit. That might have an influence on the closeness of the shave.
    Other than that slight and unconfirmed possibility, I see no disadvantages.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Maybe during a heatwave in summer, I 'll try it sometime.

    I have always loved warm lather and I always will. It is bad enough to have to contend with cold toilet seats.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I don't know about likeing it, but I use cold lather every day because of a lack of hot water. But living in the tropics I don't think it makes a lot of difference.

    I use every day a lather what many people might call too cold. I love the great lather itself and there is no matter for me is it cold or warm. I'm simply too lazy at the moment to do anything special treatment before/during/after my shave. Just enjoy to keep it simple, do the job and that's it.

    I agree, cold lather can definitely feel good when using Proraso or Omega
