I boiled the kettle for todays shave, much nicer on the face, although i have to say my skin seems to really like cold water shaving.
Its always feels like a privilege to shave with the Athena, today paired with one of my favourite scents and soaps i was in heaven.
Yes, shaving with cold water does lessen the chance of post shave irritation. I have been using cold water to shave with for years now. I the middle of our winters with -20c or lower temperatures it will really wake you up in the morning. :wink:

My OCtober Shave today consisted of...
Brush Cadman Cashmere.
Soap Palmolive shaving stick.
Razor 7'Oclock OC.
Blade Nacet (2).
Aftershave Boots Freshwood.

Finally another OCtober shave managed, sorry I have been slacking.
I made a much better lather tonight with the Palmolive, I can see how this makes an excellent travel soap.
I did a two pass shave with some touchups and now nice and smooth with the 7'Oclock.
I forgot just how mild this razor feels considering it's an OC but feels just like a mild solid bar.
It's a great razor and worthy of a place in my den.
Enjoy the evening everyone.
