Do people not do this year-round? Remember Good Morning Vietnam?

I cold water shave year round !!!! Hot water can further irritation after a shave
Add- Also as a cool summer trick ? Store your aftershave balm in the fridge. It feels so good when you apply it

I bought the super fancy scuttle to keep my shaving cream warm and all that jazz. In the end I found out my skin likes cold water shaving much better. I have no idea why. I do it all year round now.

I started doing this after reading this thread. I still use warm water for soaking the brush and starting to work up a lather, but use cooler water for rinsing the razor between strokes. It seems to work well for my face.
Thanks ! ! ! ETA: After reading the two articles posted below, I’m lowering the water temperature on the brush soak, beard prep, and lathering as well. |

After reading this thread and some of the others, I’ve gone over completely to cold water shaving, year round. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to warm water.

Yep, I'm looking at some Stirling soap as I'm now down to my last half-tube of C.O.B. I need to start keeping a re-used gallon jug of water in the fridge as now it's so hot outside that the "cold" water that comes out of the tap is warm at its coolest. Ice maker does not make enough ice for both daily drinking and shaving needs. Another benefit of cold water shaving is that you will not lose as many brush bristles as you would when using hot water. |
