This isn't a warm vs cold water shaving thread. I cold water shaved all through summer and loved it, but it's too cold now, and I'm enjoying warm water instead.
What I've always done is go straight from my final pass to a cold water rinse. Rather than empty the sink, swill it out, fill it with warm water, rinse, empty the sink again, and rinse with cold water; I just empty the sink and rinse with cold water straight from the tap. (That's a faucet for you Yanks )
I read something earlier which suggested a warm water rinse is needed to properly remove the traces of soap or cream from the skin, before the cold water rinse to tighten everything up. Is that a fact, or is it just someone's opinion?
I'm going to give it a try anyway, I'm just curious.
