Shave straight and Shave Safe!
I shave with “cold water” at least half the time.
By cold I mean neutral temperature water or slightly cool water, not “ice cube water.” I see little difference in the closeness of the shave, based on the temperature of the water. Warm water is more comfortable, at least initially, but does not guarantee a superior shave.
I do prefer the ease of making a lather from soap and warm water, as my tap water is moderately hard. This can be easily demonstrated by washing one’s hands with soap and cool water vs. soap and warm water. But adding a little more (cool) water can make an acceptable lather.
Using cool water for washing and shaving the face IMO makes the need for caffeine in the morning somewhat obsolete. Washing the face and shaving with cool water in the morning definitely wakes up one’s brain.
I’m not into cool showers, but I rather like cool water shaving. Hey, I never said I was consistent, did I?
