Hot towels for me.
One towel for 30 or so seconds. Then I lather my face and put a hot towel over the lather for 30 to 60 seconds.
Seems to work for me and it especially nice in winter.Martin103 and IndependenceRazor1 like this."The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas." -Linus Pauling

Ditch the can of foam, make your own lather and your shaves will improve.

I keep the foam for fast emergency use when necessary, which is not frequent.

I use a beard shampoo in the shower before shaving and it softens my whiskers more than just a hot towel treatment. My face is seriously sensitive to oils and the like, so its really my best option.

JTmke.
I tried the hot towel. Must be doing something wrong cause it's just not working at all for me. I use a hot wash cloth held tight to my face, usually twice. Whether it is doing anything or not I don't know. Everybody seems to have their own style. Wish I could remember how my grandfather did it. Never noticed that he had a strop, but must have had something he used. This would be about 1900's.
Thanks for the thought
