    You can benefit to using both methods, mostly i use hot water, but when its hot in summer time, all cold for me and even dip the razor in a glass of ice water, very refreshing!

    A paper designed to wipe the razor and not affect the edge according to this advertisement!

    That's why I heat my razor for 5 minutes with a blow torch before every use.
