Cold water shaving?

[Rufus]

When I lived in Hong Kong where the summer heat and humidity are very high, I took to shaving with cold water. My bathroom wasn't air conditioned, so it was brutal to shave with hot water. Since leaving HK I have reverted to shaving with hot water, but this thread has given me the impetus to try cold water again.

Do you cold water shavers soak your brush in cold water and knock up your lather with cold water also? P.

Yes! Everything I do for wet shaving is cold water only.

Cold water shaving is the only way to go.

Anyone hotwater shaving is deliberately trying to sabotage the environment, causing massive climate change, which will create a shift in the global geo-political economic structure, push millions into new migration waves, causing a breakdown in the social and moral fabric of society as we know it.

On the other hand, cold water shaving is for contrarians and perverts. If God had wanted us to shave in cold water he wouldn't have invented central heating.

Bugger it! I'm a southern softie but I'm going to try my first cold water shave tomorrow morning. If I'm hospitalised with hyperthermia then the blame will rest with you guys.

This though “The hot water used to rinse the blade causes the tiny metal molecules in the blade to expand, making the razor dull after only five shaves. Cold water, on the other hand, causes the molecules to contract, giving the blade a better edge and longer life.” is a load of old cobblers.

Well, since Monday morning I have been shaving with cold water and my skin certainly seems to like it! So I will continue to do so and I do find it quite refreshing too. P.

Excellent to hear.

Did we mention the other part of the ritual is to stand in a bucket of iced water to just over your testicles?

To find such a large bucket to stand in may be hard so I will just stand closer to the sink and suspend my testicles in the cold water, yes? P

Are you telling us that you can't even squat down like a lady to allow your testicles to drop into a bucket of icy cold water like a bloody bell going ding dong.

You've been suspiciously quiet since this mate. Still recovering?
