Cold water shaving in the hot months is great. I switch it up when the weather turns chilly. Best cold water shaving is camping on a hot day. Really gives you a new lease on life!
I can't speak for everyone else, but I don't cold water shave because I love the feeling of cold water on my face and body everyday. I do it because since I stated taking lukewarm showers and cold water shaving all of my skin problems disappeared. No more irritation on my neck from shaving, no more itchy dry arms and legs, no more dry scalp, no more dry face and no more acne. The only thing I changed in my routine was the temperature of my water. It literally changed my life and now I look forward to shaving and taking showers without the fear of dryness and irritation. Cheers!Cold water shaves are only half decent during the warmer months, and unnecessary being we have mentholated soaps - short of getting ready to do some time in the joint.
