Tomarrow Rob is going to say: "Me and my mouth". I usually throw the water to cold after the hot shower and stick with it for 30 sec. Like the old man in Braveheart- "It'll wake you in the Morning Boy!"

Rob, I just read those articles and I think they're written by some passive sadists.

John, always a step ahead, I see. So let me ask, why, and do you actually feel better for it?
I love the smell of shaving cream in the morning!

Reading this post brought the cold shower (by necessity) back out of the mystic chords of memory. I found the trick to be pointing the shower head down and starting out at the feet/lower legs. As your body acclimated ease the rest into the path of the shower head. This made it bearable.

Thanked: 0still pretty new to all of this, but i have a theory on the better shave...
what's the point of creating a lather? to put both moisture and lubrication between your skin and the blade? and soap/cream is made from fat, right?
so... compare lathering to making whipped cream. you should always start with cold tools to prevent the fat in the cream from melting. same goes with the lather: cold water keeps it from melting, allowing more air pockets to build and more room for water. plus, the soap/cream holds up during the shave instead of falling apart.
my newbie two cents, fwiw.

Welcome to SRP. Well the pamphlet from 1905 that started all of this (with me anyway) said that the hot water would soften the whisker and make it more difficult for the blade to cut it. The cold water keeps the whisker stiff and therefore more easily sheared by the razor. Your observation on the lather is interesting and probably has merit. Smooth shaving.
