I think we all hate getting out of the shower cold and butt freezing during the winter and I was thinking of a steam shower that could save water, Iet you turn off the water, scrub, and then rinse without the air being freezing. But I'm wondering how much could it cost, and I mean does it work using a compressor??

Keep the shower door/curtain closed and dry off before opening. Zero cost and much better.
*The steam showers that I have wired consist of a small boiler that heats the water to generate the steam and releases it under pressure. They are a little pricey and require a water line and a power line to be installed. Whatever water you save you will make up for in electricity costs. I have never heard of anyone using steam to rinse off, but I don't stick around to see how they are used after the installation.
Here's a sample:
Perhaps a heat lamp may help you feel warm while drying off. I have wall heaters to warm the bathrooms before going in and when coming out of the shower.
Yep, and a little heater in the bathroom helps too.
On my recent bathroom renovation, I was taking showers before I had put the bathroom door back in. Despite the shower door and the heater being installed, the lack of a bathroom door led to it being drafty during/after my shower.
Once I rehung the bathroom door, all was well again. The lesson learned was that even a small draft in the shower room is uncomfortable.

I used to open the shower door a couple inches before my shower was finished. Let the hot air warm the room.
A crude compromise would be one of the "Navy" shower heads. They're small, use little water, but the spray is quite hard and very fine. The result is that a lot of the heat in the water dissipates before it hits the shower floor. We keep what most would call a "cold" house year round, and I find that my Navy shower head really heats things up in the whole bath when I'm showering.

Some exhaust fans are equipped with heat lamps or infrared heat lamps. Herer is but one example:
Absolutely. With the door shut, shower or bath, the room warms up. AFter I get out, I open it an inch or two, then a bit more each time, to help me dry off but without getting the room uncomfortably cold. While the bathroom cools off, the bedroom warms.
