I read a thread about this around here somewhere and decided to try it today. It might be too early to tell, but this might become my standard operating procedure. No nicks, cut or burns with my kamisori. Virtually BBS with two WTG passes! That's saying a lot too because I just can't do ATG with a straight. The angle it has to be held at is too awkward for me.
Cold water shaving!

I've had my fair share of cold water shaves, and they get good results. I definitely prefer hot water though!

I've got somewhat irritable skin on my neck so even though cold water shaves help with that, I'm a sucker for warm water and warm lather so I stick with hot anyways
in the last two weeks I've had two CWS's.
1 - Hoffritz slant with Derby - excellent result, a DFS
2 - New Long Comb with Astra SP - only got half way, tuggy, rough, uncomfortable - had to put the New aside and finish with the Hoffritz/Derby and it ended up ok.
my advice - use a slant for your CWS's! (YMMV)
