What Stone and Strop says: I like cold water strictly because it appears to tighten my pores and minimizes razor burn — warm water certainly feels better but I’ve gotten accustomed to cold water now. Also, I frequently throw a cup of ice into the sink to get the water temp cold enough to help out. Try ice water at some point if you tend to get razor burn.

Absolutely. Most of those who tout cold water shaving are mostly talking about what the cold water does to the skins pores, not the blade. Cold or hot, enjoy the shaves!
