skip the shower.

Didn't have time to shower the other day but still needed to shave so I tried something new. I wetted down my badger brush with some HOT water and then just rubbed the hot water on my face. I kept dipping the brush in hot water and then putting it on my face so I got my beard good and wet. Then I lathered up and shaved away. This worked pretty dog gone well I must say.

Just wondering if anyone else has ever tried this.

I have. The hot towel method is a similar concept. No shower required.

Close,

I don't do the wet brush rub, I just shave.

I may try the brush run though.

Same here, I usually get excellent shaves with a hot towel.....but the brush-method is quite interesting.

Thanks for the tip :happy088

Interesting technique. I'm going to try it. It probably feels good as well. Thanks.

Did it.

Felt a little funny but it is a good way to really soak your face in water and get a little scrub on.

As I shower in the evening and shave in the morning I have a different technique: When I soak my brush and warm my scuttle I also rinse my face for a good minute with some hot water and apply Trumpers Skinfood afterwards. Works pretty well too :cool:

It actually does feel pretty nice. The hotter the water the better.

This worked well this morning in place of my post-shower hot towel application. Thanks for the tip!
