Never. I go straight under my powerful ceiling fan and dry off.
I finish off with ice cold water, i never freeze afterwards
Having a cold shower at the end is probably number 1 if I made a list of things I do right in life that most people don't do.
I feel so clean and comfortable for ages afterwards, no matter if I'm in my house or the middle of the forest, summer or winter.
Best thing my dad ever taught me. (I mean he's still alive, so technically 'best so far', but I'm not holding my breath).
I used to do that and liked it, but dropped the habit somewhere along the way. It doesn't even feel that bad after the initial shock passes. It's even pleasant, and then when you get out, the water is cooler so won't evaporate as readily, do it's not just that you're more used to the cooler temperature, but it also doesn't get as cold because evaporation takes away more heat than the higher temperature water provides.
Also, use your hands as squeegees before you get out of the shower area and your towels won't go stinky as quickly (because they dry out quicker due to not needing to absorb as much water).
Towel robes are fucking amazing for this. Fuck Bernie Sanders with his advocacy for universal healthcare, and Vermine Supreme for his policy of "everyone gets a pony." No friends, true political power comes with towel robes. I will not rest until every man, woman, NB and child has one (if they want, I mean I'm not about force. And while I'm on this rant, is Vermin aware of how costly ponies are to keep? Hay alone, let alone a barn with their own pony healthcare. But ok yeah I'm typing this as I'm passing out, just food for thought)
As soon as the shower is off: 🥶
