Mine sits under the running water while the water heats up. I try to keep as much water out of the knot, where it's inside the handle, as possible.

I have been using this method . The spout acts as a cradle

I fill it with hot water, shower ,drain, use as my scuttle, stays warm for 15 mins . Great way to repurpose the fine china and soak/heat my brush.
Attached underplate makes it easy to hold on to.
I take my Moss scuttle (the small one) and fill the reservoir 3/4 or so full. Run a bit of water on the bristles of the brush, and stick it bristles down in the scuttle, so that the handle is not getting wet. Pour a bit of water on the puck and walk away for a few minutes. That is my brush prep. :hmmm:
I put my brush in the shower for ten minutes then get it out and lather it up. Then I'll get a scalding hot towel and lay it on the brush. After that, I re-lather the brush, do another hot towel, then re-lather again. Then before I apply the lather, I put hair conditioner and pre-shave oil on it, and then I'm ready to go. It only takes an additional 45 minutes and makes the shave a much more enjoyable experience for the brush.
I just try not to drop them in the wood,Ivory,Bone and horn shavings.

I fill my scuttle, including the inner bowl, with very warm (not hot) water, and put the brush in without submerging the handle; then I shower. I take the brush out after I've stropped whichever razor I'll be using, and squeeze out most of the water. Then I refill the scuttle with HOT water for lathering.
I use the low tech method and put the brush under running hot water for 10 seconds.
I fill up my sink with hot water and put my brush in for a min or two whilst I hold a hot flannel to my face. All good.
Picked this up at the 99¢ store. Wanted something I could soak the bristles in and not the handle on this brush. Trying to avoid getting the handle wet as long as I can. Also works well as a brush stand due to the edge of the handle and fluffiness of the knot.
