Second day trying cold water shaving. For me it certainly is no worse than using hot water. Face doesn't feel flushed when done and if there's any difference at all it might be a slightly closer shave (although that could be in my head!)
I know this has probably been answered before, but how cold are we talking when we say cold water shaving? Lukewarm or actually just cold water?
Thanks
