    Just plug one of those camping fridge/freezers into a wall socket int the bathroom. That way you got ice on hand and you can have a cold beer or pour yourself a Bourbon and Coke post shave drink.
    How can you have a Shave Den without a fridge for your beer????!

    This is what i suggested earlier on in the thread, thing is they are 12v dc or 240AC (in england), so there must be a more efficient way. on the other hand a beer with a shave sounds good.

    Yes, but since when does efficient and convenient ever go hand in hand. It's one or the other, and in this case the beer is convenient too...

    Aeon may have the answer. And it's less a matter of prototyping as it is seeing who has a margarita maker AND does this first. That makes it a matter of pioneering. Since I lack a margarita maker, I can only cheer from the sidelines.

    I can, however, print stickers. Just tell me how big the "Supercool Shave Cream-O-Matic" sticker needs to be to cover up the "Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville" sticker.

    Sign me up as a convert to this cold water malarkey. I have now tried it for a week and every shave has been super close, smoothe and comfortable.

    Really working for me.

    I just rub my face with dry ice before the shave and all stays wonderfully cold for hours and stiff enough so I don't have to stretch anything - can't really - tried it once and cracked my cheek.

    Dry ice?! You wouldn't need a razor if you did that. Your beard and most of your skin would just fall off with one decent slap on the back of yer silly head!

    For those seeking an effective method to obtain cold water for the cold-water shave, why not move up north to Canada. In winter, ordinary tap water turns ice cold, and in case you catch pneumonia, our healthcare will take care of you for free!

    That's what's good. I'm glad someone is enjoying colder temps as much as I do. Feel free to drop by the Polar Bears (at my link below) and enjoy your New Year/Decade- Johnny
