Hi there,

I would like to know what you prefer to use, cold or hot water for your shave. Me personally, I prefer cold since I don’t nick myself as often as I do with hot but hot water is nice at times.

This. 

I might add that I like hot before shaving too, and that by “hot”, I always mean “comfortably hot”.

I add "comfortably hot" to wash all lather and balance pH, just before "really cold" to tone the skin.

Pores do not "open" nor "close". That is myth.
