The Fellowship of Cold Water Shavers

The Enders Speed Shaver is a great little shaver. I am glad that the carrier blade solution works as well as it does. This is a razor that deserves to be resurrected. Wish they still made the blades for it though.

 

To the fellowship,

I have a question open to all.

Do you continue only cold water shaves through the winter months?

 

The answer is yes, no matter what the season, it's always 73 degrees in my bathroom.

Same here, @MR41 . Cold water all year long. Hot water is for showers and cleaning up the tools.

 

SOTD Nov 09-2019, Having a little fun with this Enders speed razor and today was a excellent day for a great shave it produced. Having a little Gem and Schick experience that comes into hand Technique with the Enders it can produce a excellent shave with a Ender's blade carrier(Jararuh's idea at TSD). The razor is nimble and a different experience when shaving because I basically engineered my shave feel and not some one else to get MY desired results. Once the carrier is set to your shave it is just shaving 101 for the next round with same settings as before + a historical OPEN COMB razor brought back into service!

cool shave Ron..good morning..

 

Good morning Gary, have a great day.

 

I do. Coldest tap water that comes out all year, so the winter shaves actually have colder water since the weather is colder. Bracing and refreshing.

 

Yep...........

fine Remembrance Day shave Ron..

 

I was watching the movie Spitfire yesterday, its good the British had that aircraft made just in time before the ....hit the fan. They built over 23,000 (different variants of power)of them over the length of the war. So a tribute shave to those hero's who fought hard and out numbered 4:1 in aircraft at the start of the WW2.

 

SOTD Nov-13-2019, Still enjoying the Enders Speed shaver and did some J hooking this morning with no issues, tomorrow will try some Enders slide maneuvers to see how it handles that procedure.
