    It's my 2-year YouTube anniversary and I've decided to do something EPIC. Or crazy. Or both. You decide. Can you shave in sub-zero temperatures? Watch and find out.

    I'll have to check it out when I get home. Sounds like you've been reading some of the Art Of Manliness articles. He has a few of them on cold showers, cold shaving, and the weirdos who go swimming in ice holes. Supposed to be good for virility I think.

    Why would you want to do that to yourself?!

    I've had to shave in less than ideal conditions while in the military. However, I certainly wouldn't recommend it.

    I am not sure I want to watch that video. I do cold water shaves, but below 0? That doesn't make sense. Water freezes at 0. Are you shaving with alcohol?

    Haha that video was awesome! You've got balls to shave outside in -8 weather. I cringed when you threw the snow/water on your head! You def should change your name to Crazy Shaver.

    I've read those articles too. I'm all for cold water shaving but cold showers and swimming in ice pools, that puts too much strain on your heart. Crazy

    For most of the world, it would read 0° Celsius, unless you specify that you meant Fahrenheit.

    No idea how cold 0° F actually is, but it must be pretty cold!

    I don't know if it's ever been that cold over here!

    Me either. I'd like to do the "Ice-Bucket Challenge", but that is over much sooner than trampling through frigid water-sometimes in December(as is a "tradition" in Boston).
