    I'm a cold water shaver and love it but it took me a long time to be willing to try it.

    I just fill a bowl with hot water and set a smaller bowl inside it. Cheap and warm.
    Here are a couple of examples.

    A scuttle and then get some soap that is in the tube as I call it! Great hot shaves are had by a scuttle! It is like a treat that you do for yourself only about once a week so the pleasure is never old!!!!

    I use my scuttle for every shave; why save it for once a week? Every shave should be pleasurable...isn't that why we're all here rather than using canned cream and a 5-blade cartridge razor?

    Unlike most I guess I do not have the time to set up my scuttle and heat it properly to shave everyday like that. It is a weekend treat for me. I shave about every other day as is and use the traditional loading a brush with hot water then working up a lather then shaving.

    The scuttle to me is a treat for sure. Wished I had the time.......ask me in 8 years when I retire!

    I run the hot water in the sink while I'm setting up my shave supplies, then fill mine with hot water, drop in the brush to soak, and take a shower. A quick water change before building lather, 30 seconds, will give nice hot lather for the shave.

    Maybe use creams during the week, since soaps take more time? At least you'd get to use your scuttle every shave...

    But he's wanting a hot lather...

    I do enjoy a cold face lather, though. Especially during the hot months. Or if I'm just too lazy to pull out the scuttle.
