You should apply warm water (or hot) first, after the shave, to add moisture, and cold water on top of that, to trap it inside (closes the pours). Warts and razor bumps occur when people shave too closely. A hair ends up far under the surface, and instead of growing straight back out, it ends up "taking a detour." Remember that hair is the exact same material as fingernails and toenails, just in a thinner form. The moisture you add from the hot-then-cold water protects the skin from infections. You know how after you use a fresh blade the skin becomes super sensitive and slightly burning? That is because a whole layer of skin has just been removed, and even though it may not bleed, it is lower skin that is now vulnerable to germs. The moisture protects it if it is added.
(Oops. I just realized that there is nothing in your question that specifies whether it is shaving for guys, or for girls, but I'm sure the same rules apply. Shaving too closely is never very healthy. It may look better, but it taxes the immune system.)

Warm. Very warm. It will be a lot easier and not hard on the skin. Cold just dries it up and can make it irritated.

Very warm, it softens the hair so you get a closer shave, and less nicks and cuts. Use a sharp, triple blade razor and good shaving cream for the best shave.

i use warm. but using cold i think would make the hair come up. since they are sensitive. either way. it works the same. i personally dont see a difference in using either warm or cold water.

there is not any want to accurate off the sink... what circumstances were you picturing on your head? i'm easily curious. are you able to easily lay out your thoughts on how a shave ought to bypass with/without the sink filled up? also, warm water. in case you at the instantaneous are not getting a blister you're doing it incorrect.

I use hot water. I shave in the shower. Cuts down on time.
