I think I need to get one of these
I leave my cream/soap a little drier when loading. I then cover my face in hot water right before applying the lather to my face. As I work it up on my face, I add droplets of HOT water to the brush. Much cheaper option for a warm feel :D
I have the G20 from Georgetown Pottery. It's great; it holds a ton of hot water, so I warm it initially, dump, then fill again with hot water before I shower, while also soaking my brush in the bowl. Everything is still nice and warm after my shower, and my brush is ready to go.
I have some sort of tin thing, resembles a cup with a handle, that I soak my brush in hot water while I'm showering. When I get out I empty the old water and use just the water on the brush to lather with. My face doesn't like piping hot water. I find this works well for me. As I make a second pass the temp gets cooler, which for me is better. If the temp outside drops to -30 or so, I use warmer water. That's what works for me. My cup doesn't hold temp well, if that's something you like/need depending on your face...then look for it, but they are worth it IMO.
Happy shaves man!

I have recently gone to just luke warm water on my face before the shave but I really like my lather warm and have had three different skuttles. My current choice is a Dirty Bird. Would not enjoy the shave as much without a skuttle to use, always part of my daily routine.
Just use cold water and face lather.
I'm also in the market for a scuttle. the problem I'm running into is they are very expensive
Take a look at the Dirty Bird Pottery, too
