I decided to see how quickly I could pull off a DE shave this morning while in a hurry. I passed on the hot water rinse first, thinking that if cold water shaving seems to be all the rage, why waste time on hot water. I lathered up with good soap, a badger brush, and a mug and off I went. I made one full, serious ATG pass, lathered back up for a fairly casual touch-up, and rinsed with cold water. A pretty good shave sneaking up on BBS, no nicks, no cuts, and no razor burn. Time 3:58. I think I can do better.
