Shaving with cold water...
Is this okay to do?I've always heard it's better to shave with warm-hot water,but whenever I do I get all cut up.I tried cold water today and there weren't any problems but I think I heard something about having a chance of getting ingrown hairs or something like this...

It is better to shave with warm water, becasue shaving with cold water can give you ingrown hairs and rashes or bumps on your legs so I would just be careful when shaving with your razor and maybe you need a new one, cause the blade might be dull. So i would try to get a new razor if you can and use warm water from now on.

It actually is better to shave with warm water for the sole reason that it relaxes the pores and does, infact, prevent razor burn as well as ingrown hairs. However, there should be nothing wrong with using cold water as long as you use plenty of creme. Same goes for using warm water. So basically make sure you are using plenty of soap on your legs and you should have no problems. It might also help to apply some type of lotion after shaving. If you are still getting cuts, get a different razor and make sure that you shave in the direction that the hair grows.

just to dodge the whole ingrown hair scenario (even if untrue), hot water gives the better shave.
Take your time and get to know your face while shaving, figure out how to shave which parts or your face.
Unless you want to try a electric shaver.

The only reason I have heard it's better to shave with warm water is because it opens up your pores a little more, pushing the hair out. Which makes it so you shave off more of the hair, thus making it necessary to shave as often. I haven't heard of any dangers of shaving with cold water. I would say it would be better to shave with cold water if you dont get cut up, even if it means you have to shave a little more often.

I think your biggest problem is that you'll get really cold. Whatever works for you, do it.
If you seem to be getting a lot of ingrown hairs, exfoliate throughly first and use a sharp razor. When you do get one, you can remove them with a bit of effort and tweezers.
