I get in, then turn the water on cold for a few minutes before turning the heat up. Cold showers are very invigorating.

I always turn the water on before getting in. I like to get the temperature just right before getting in.

You have to get it right before getting in otherwise you're forced to either scream from the icy blast or scold yourself.

Surely if you get in and then turn on the water, you might be in for a shock? I did that once (stupidly) and scalded my scalp.

I get in first, then turn the shower on. My house has a very small hot-water heater, so I have to take every minute of shower time I can get.

Psh, I just get in and take whatever temperature I get until I eventually get it to the ideal temperature. Funny people and your wariness towards temperatures
