Disclaimer: This may not be for everyone.
What I am about to write may cause some of you to think I've lost my mind. After my shower yesterday, I Prep'd my beard with an Ice Cube. I've been putting an Ice Cube in my scuttle and building Lather cold for a few months now. Also, I've been sticking the scuttle in the Freezer to get all components of my Shave Routine as cold as possible. But yesterday I crossed a line I knew was coming anyways. Ever since I first shaved Cold, I have progressively gotten Colder and Colder. At first I started putting the brush and scuttle in the freezer, then I was soon adding Ice to my lather. I am now using exclusively SubZero temps on everything I do to my face and have eliminated Hot and Warm water all together. As any of you could guess, I Love my new methods. And I know this post may sound like the confessions of an addict... Well, because it is. Sliding an Ice Cube over my clean face to begin my Shave is a new High for me, as well as my new standard. BTW The Shave was incredible!
I would like to thank all of you Gentlemen for allowing me a place to declare, and disclose these "Shaving Afflictions" that I am very gladly effected by.
All The Best -John
