Don't do cold showers immediately after strength training.
Satellite Cell activity, which is responsible for strength and muscular adaptions, is partly driven by excercise induced inflammation. Cold exposure blunts this (positive) inflammatory response.
Simply put: It blunts your gains. Dont do it. Further reading: https://suppversity.blogspot.de/2015/07/...after.html
Other than that, you're good to go. I do 10 minutes cold showers every morning. I would prefer a whole body bath, but have currently no way of doing it. Maybe in the future I will buy a new garbage can, put it on the balcony and fill it with ice water. My neighbours will love me.
Anyways, at this point I hardly have issues going out with a T-Shirt whens its cold as fuck outside. But the first 2-3 minutes of cold showers in the morning are always a massive suckfest, probably will never get used to it.
My main inspiration is Wim Hof. That guy takes cold exposure to new levels.
