This is aimed at me then :P

The reason I started using this technique is because I only have a cold water tap in my room. I boil a cup of tea and though "Why don;t I boil some extra water to shave with?" so I did and I still do. Then I realised that it seemed to be a good way to save water (the other option was to shave in the bath/shower but it can leave bits of whiskers in odd places)

Anyways someone pointed out that using boiling water to shave makes for a worse shave, now I use cold water to lower the temp a bit :p

As for the your suggestion. The idea of using a bag hadn't occured to me. Thank you.
