Keeping lather warm - an alternative to scuttle
Well...like most bowl latherers out there, I had been struggling to find that perfect something that would keep my nice uberlather warm for the duration of my shave. The scuttle seemed to offer the solution until I realized that I needed my lather to stay warm for longer than 15 minutes without the need to refresh the hot water in it.
Then about 1.5 months ago, I stumbled onto the solution
The "Sunbeam Hot Pot Express" (see picture below):

This thing offered many advantages (at least to me):
1. Cheap - $10-$12 at Target. Can't go wrong
2. Keeps water warm and has variable temperature control
3. I can put my mug/brush inside and fill both mug and pot with water and heat while I take my shower...I will have nice warm brush in under 3 minutes
4. I can build lather and put it back in the pot...the warm water in pot will keep the lather warm during each pass.
It is plain AWESOME :beer1:...and consistent temperatures all through my shaves, every time. Now, I love my lather even more.
Anyone else tried this?...If so, do share your experiences...good, bad and ugly
PS: I am sure that I have seen a video of someone (not sure if it was Joel or maybe I saw it on YouTube) using this technique too some time ago. :hmmm:
