I definitely didn't see that coming. $c#m ;D
Yeah, it's in my routine. The best thing for really closing those pores up tight.

TMI Timm! :*))
I tried the ice but no way did I like it! Cold water is sufficient. O0
-
I dont rub it down there.....gezzzzz y'all making me out to be some kind of fruit cake or what??? LOL
-
Tim, your mental stability or lack thereof is not for me to judge. I am not a doctor.
-
Never tried the ice cube rub, but I am doing the cold water rinse now, thanks to it's praises on another post. Not too shabby. Maybe I'll try the ice cube on my next shave (tomorrow).
-
Hey Adam???? did ya do the deed? The icecube rub....where's the feedback?
Timmayy!
-
Cold rinse is all I have done although Timmmay's idea of putting Aloe gel in the ice box sounds intriguing.. O0
-
You should try it mojim....everyone should try it. Its not an expensive loss if you dont like it. 2 bucks...all it cost. Good luck
Timmayy!

never tried the ice cube rub but I do splash VERY cold water all over the noggin after a shave: gives a real buzz. Might be brave enough to try an ice cube in the warmer weather. O0
-
I have tried the ice cube and it is a nice feeling. I rinse with cold water right before exiting the shower and that works great for me.
I do use the ice cube rub when it is warm or I am in need of a rapid temp drop but I just dont incorporate it into my shave routine.
-

I did the deed. I'll have to admit, it's something that will take some getting used to. It was like the first time I did the cold water rinse. It's nice, though. Something I'll surely be doing again.
-
I like doing the ice cube rub. It's just hard to always remember when there's not an icemaker in your bathroom. :/O
-
Didn't vote because there is not a sometimes option.
Regular grooming, no I don't use the Ice Cube. But if I'm going out with my Girlfriend, or just meeting up with her, then Yes I do
-

Thank you very much... P@^

LOL

Just tried an ice cube on my freshly shaved head.
That's a whole new experience. Rather like it !
-
You're missing an option on the poll.
I tried it. I like it, but I don't do it regularly.
What I really like, though, is shaved ice on the head. Excellent on a hot afternoon! Like a cold drink after mowing the lawn.
Maybe I'll need to get an ice shaver device for the bathroom!
-
As of May 3rd (first time razor shaving after the stitches came out) Yes, Yes and more Yes! After an ice cube rub, like the late James Brown would say "I feel Good!" (OK, let me stop oversharing!.... ;D ;D)
-
no i have not tried it but i do a cold water rinse and feels great after the shave plus it shuts down everything
-
Never tried it, but a cold rinse followed by an alum block followed by another cold rinse feels amazing. May have to try the ice cube.

Every day, I love it!
Feels so hydrating and cooling! Although now were dipping below 0*C I question it's staying power (*!@

Yep, like that hydrating and cooling feeling. Head is so smooth afterwards.
Are you heading towards winter there ?

Where are you in the southern hemisphere ?! Sounds like the Antarctic !

I first shade my head in January. Winter here. It was much better than expected for temperatures. Now that we are approaching summer, and the AC is on in the commercial establishments, I'm freezing. I need a hat (keep forgetting to bring one and it's impolite to wear your hat at the table), but it feels COLD under an AC vent.
Ice cubes are nice on a hot day and after a hot shower. A cold blast of air for an hour during dinner is too chilling.

Lol it fells like it sometimes!
In Australia, Canberra (the Capitol) lol
We get all the seasons! Cold in winter and high 30’s in summer! It's a great place!

Nope...cold water rinse does the trick for me.
-
I tried, but I don't think I did it right. I did it after I already had lotion on, it worked well for getting rid of the excess lotion.
I shave after I shower and if I brought ice upstairs before hand it would surely melt before I had a chance to use it.

Agreed. And here in London, UK we're enjoying a May mini heat wave : 26c (whatever temp that is in american money !)
Great profile pic, Mr Zed. Very flowery.

Thanks. The flowers are from our garden. Picked them for my birthday party.

Even if ice worked, I am too lazy to take ice cubes to the bathroom. I would need a little freezer in my bathroom to make ice if I went that route, LOL.
-
Better yet, put a snow cone machine in the bathroom. Leave out the sugar water. Now give yourself a shaved ice head rub.

I'm with you. There are limits to how much effort I'll go to in the interest of sly.
-
I tried the ice cube thing once after shaving, and other than making my head extremely cold, it didn't do much for me. It's great in the middle of a hot day, though!
-
Just started this last week. I've noticed my head is noticeably less red then normal, however I have also started getting it that groove where my scalp should be getting used to the shave.
Either way I like the feeling of the cool down since I did notice my head did feel rather warm right after a shave. Think i'll keep it up.
Just curious and was wondering, for those of u on here who use Witch hazel, have u been icing before or after applying?
-
Is it best to ice cube first then apply witch hazel/aloe Vera or the other way round cheers
-
Probably a daft question on my behalf, whoops!
-
I don't think it matters one way or the other, though more often than not, there are two different ways I do this
1. Witch hazel, Ice cube, St. Ives (when I have extra time) all at the sink OR
2. Ice cube, Witch Hazel, Osage Rub (when on the go) In this case I shave in the shower.
Everyone may not do it like I do it, but more often than not, I am left with a nice shine and almost nonexistent razor bumps using Ice Cubes and witch hazel no matter what sequence. Good Luck, Guys!

I've tried something better just using ice water and it is the best after a head and face shave fill sink up with cold water add ice cubes splash ice water on the shave area very refreshing and the after shave has cooling feel to it as well
