The Fellowship of Cold Water Shavers

After years of hot-water wet shaving, I converted over to cold-water during the summertime several years ago and haven't looked back!
I enjoy the briskness and refreshing feel of cold water on the face, and more importantly, the feel of 'cold steel'—a straight razor dunked in a cold basin prior to a shave pass.
Using warm lather from a scuttle doesn't diminish the appeal as the eye-opening chill of a cold final rinse leaves my skin feeling great post-shave prior to any application of aftershave or balm.

 

How did you put the FCWS in red?

 

It should turn red automatically when you creat the link and you can further enhance it by making it bold.

 

I have been cold water shav ing ever since I started using a straight razor...having ice cubes in the bathroom sink really help with sweeper and small cuts, not to mention a lot less irritation for my face.

 

Pardon my lack of knowledge , how do I create the link?

 

I had a great cold water shave this morning. Like someone else mentioned, I guess I am a "seasonal" cold water shaver...spring/summer/fall. Winter time I tend to go lukewarm.

 

Hahaha that is easy for you to say !

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but it recently popped back up in one of my news feeds.

That's one of the articles that changed me over to the cold side a long time ago. It's a great read...

 

You're in @preidy . Welcome to the club.

 

January I am trying to copy and past or what ever so I can sign up for FCWS but no luck so far !

 

It's an easy procedure but it's difficult to explain without visuals. Let's page @RaZorBurn123 and ask if he can link it for you, he has authority.

 

Thanks, Garrett, that was a good read. I think I may have read some of his quotes in other sources.

 

Mitch,
Is your auto-correct changing Jayaruh to January?

 

I was wondering the same thing Jim, or is it a pet name!?!

 

High, migh nam iz Jayaruh, butt ewe kin kawl me January.

 

For some reason, reading this evokes memories of one of my Uncles. lol He had one of the thickest Southern drawls ever.
