Less prep?

[TobyC]

No prep, put lather on dry face, shave, walk away.

Any razor dragging when using cold water? I must try it..

No Sir, It's the same as using hot water but your skin will thank you . Give it a go, nothing to lose.

YMMV, cold water was pretty awful for me!

It probably was the first few times, TBH nothing is as nice as a lovely warm lather and razor. I'm used to it now and have no plans to go back.

Yes, YMMV but that is no reason not to give it a try at least once to really know one way or the other for yourself.

Didn't like it either and didn't get any benefit.

Of course I will. I was worried only if I couldn't build a lather when using cold water..

I did not mean to imply you did. It is just that people are hesitant to try a cold water shave and saying it was awful for you discourages people from even trying it. Point is, it is not a life threatening change to try it only possibly uncomfortable. If it is uncomfortable you don't have to repeat it.

Saying it was awful for me tells it how it was, on numerous occasions btw.
Putting YMMV at the beginning of my post is self explanatory

I've kinda found the same thing this holiday, staying with the outlaws & unable to hog the bathroom as I can at home.
I've taken to using a sainsburys tea tree bar & a warm flannel as prep, cold water splash, face lather & go, does the job marvellously.

The sainsburys tea tree bars work really well as shampoo too.

Very similar to myself. The Sainsbury's Tea Tree bar on it's own is more than adequate

Same here ... tried it for a while, but it's not for me.

In terms of prep, I do virtually nothing. Wash my face, rinse, and lather up. After my shave, rinse again and slap on aftershave.

I like the cold water shave, but it doesn’t have to be freezing. I add a splash of hot water at this time of year, to make it acceptable, rather than uncomfortable. For the final rinse, straight from the tap. Certainly wakes me up.

Ah! I should point out I do build my lather and soak my brush in warm water
