How cold is your cold shower?

I hope y'all don't make yourself sick with how cold you're going lol. I alternate between cold and hot in the shower. Cold at first to wash my hair and then hot the rest of the time.

 

My water comes from a well on my property and I have high water pressure. Most of the year it is at first jarring but then pretty nice... but in the winter it gets so cold as to give me brain freeze... my skull feels like it will explode. As yet I have not been able to fight through that. I assume those guys swimming in the arctic ice are swimming in colder water and can deal with it...
Not sure I have a thermometer that goes that low.... but will check

 

I live in Canada. My shower head throws ice cubs at me.

 

You don't use any hot water?

 

Not cold enough at the moment! Even though I use no hot water. It does improve in winter, though it's nothing like you can get in a colder climate.

I think setting up a Glycol Cooling System to the cold water would be a great idea at this point!

 

There is a black and white movie with Paul Newman, i forgot which, where to help recover from a hangover, he dunks his head in a sink full of water filled with ice cubes. I am not sure what kind of sink would fill enough to fit my head in.... not any I have seen save a kitchen sink... but I have considered getting a large bucket. This would put the edge back on the not so cold showers in Summer, and perhaps might be a way to get multiple thermal shocks a day... I have never taken multiple cold showers in a day... but I have often thought it would be a good idea.... but it becomes a time problem... if I am just dunking my head it's not as big of a deal...

I have a big head. I need a big bucket.

 

You still get benefits ending your warm shower with a cold shot as long as you can stand.... about 5 seconds for me... it's -10 outside
