between hot and cold shower, which one will soften facial hair the most assuming someone is taking a long shower in the morning? would any of you guys know??
Yes, indeed. I find soft wiskers are harder to shave. My thoughts are that soft wiskers tend to bend more when the edge first touches them making them more difficult to cut and increasing the tugging. Harder wiskers tend to start cutting as soon as that edge touches them (or sooner ).....
Hair needs to be hydrated but doesn't need to be soft.

I don't blame you, but you do not need to take a cold shower to shave with cold water. Simply use cold water to wet your face, and to rinse the blade as you would with hot water.I don't know and there is no way I'm going to find out because I am not going to take a long, cold shower in the morning...or ever.
I haven't noticed much difference, frankly. Hydration is the key - hot or cold is personal preference, IMO.
This is an international forum. Cold water for me in the middle of "winter" is 26deg C (79deg F) out of the faucet first thing in the morning..... I assume you mean cool shower - a cold shower in winter would be a special kind of torture.
I use the "hot washcloth" method of hydrating, and thought that the hotter the water, the better, and use the hottest I can endure.Hot water seems to get the whiskers hydrated somewhat faster, but the hair will only absorb a certain amount of water.
I always thought the hot washcloth analogy was with cooking spaghetti, and that wouldn't work very well with cold water.
