Edit Reason: Explain public poll
)
I'm trying something new here, so bear with me. Setting up a poll where you can vote for either Cold Water or Warm Water Shaving. After voting, if you would please leave a comment below to explain why you prefer one over the other. Thank you!
Edit: Note that I left it a public poll so we could see each others vote.

Warm to hot water because it's more comfortable. I don't deal with irritation and understand some use cold to help with that. Cold is only when I am camping as I still shave every day

In general Hot water just because it feels luxurious. Sometimes cold if it's nasty hot outside or if I have irritated skin.

I like my shave water hot! So much so that I microwave a one quart milk pitcher filled with water each morning. It feels great!

Hot in winter, cold in summer.
Therefore I couldn't leave a vote.

Summer, Winter, Spring, or Fall, it's cold water shaving above all.
Yep, I only do cold water shaving. I started out doing a cold water rinse at the end of the shave, but I remembered when I was in Vietnam, we did not have hot water, so all my shaves were cold water. I decided to give it a try again, and haven't looked back, until today. I went back in my shaving logs on my shaving website, and it was August 8, 2014 when I started cold water shaving. On November 1, 2014, I created this graphic for cold water shaves.

I made this one back when I first joined TOST.

And now, I use this one.

I am happy to have nudged/persuaded a number of wet shavers to join me. I call it the Fellowship of Cold Water Shavers.
