Hey All
I'm in a the middle of a heat wave so I decided to give cold water shaving a try.
I remember watching on the show Band of Brothers one of the main characters breaking the ice in an ammo can and using the water to shave. I've heard about cold water shaving and I thought why not.
Broke out my 68 Gillette Super Speed and a puck of Williams soap, filled up the sink with the cold stuff.
Soaked my badger brush and then loaded up the Williams. Now I've always had a little bit of trouble getting a good lather with Williams. I was surprised how nicely the Williams lathered up.
Splashed some cold water on my face and then applied the lather. It was strange because I could feel the cold hard steel of the razor as it cleanly removed the hair.
It left my face smooth, clean and cool.
Splashed my face with some more cold water. A little after shave and I was done. Clean Cool and Simple. I may never use warm water again. Well maybe when it get cold outside and there is 3 feet of snow on the ground.
I guess if I really want to shave ... I should use an Army Helmet to hold the cold water.
