I had read, or heard, somewhere that one should rinse their razor in cold water. I thought I'd give it a try; so while I was doing the cold water thing, I did the whole shave with cold water. The shave was quite wonderful! My skin afterwards felt very smooth and lacked any irritation at all, of course most of my shaves are just that (irritation free).

I wont do this again, but if I go camping and don't have hot water, I know the shave experience will be just fine.
