Welcome to TSD! I'd recommend warm water for getting wet. It softens the beard better and is more comfortable.
Welcome to The Shave Den, a great community of guys and gals that enjoy wet shaving, I hope you enjoy your stay! Be sure to sign up for the March Newbie Give-Away for a chance to win some great shave gear!
Welcome to the Den and jump right in the water is nice and warm. Newb here also but have had some 10 DE shaves that have just made me love this hobby all the more. signs046So Welcome and hope to see you around.signs046
