Shaving against the grain is bad for two reasons:
1) You have a better chance of cutting yourself
2) You have a better chance of cutting the hair off below the skin and giving yourself an ingrown hair
Apparently the three bladed razors are good in any direction...
As for the warm vs. cold...
I use hot in the shower and shave immediately after the shower. After shaving, rinse first with warm water to clear the exess soap and skin off (you aren't just shaving hair you are also shaving off a thin layer of skin... exfoliating). After this, rinse with cooler water to close the pores. Then moisturize...
That's about it.
