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.

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.
