Where ever you get your water supply from, be it a well or city water system, it will be some where above 0c or you will not have water. I don't live in Northern Canada but we have been known to get...

Plenty of threads on here about cold water shaving and a surprising number of members do it too. Been doing it going on 2 years myself and found it good for the same reasons you did. I don't miss hot...
