    Default Steamer for Towels!?

    Hello all,
    I'm looking at having a small steamer for towels in the bathroom.(When time doesn't permit a steam shower).
    Can anyone recommend a manufacturer/maker? Or other suggestions for that "Uber-shave" fix.
    Suggestions please.
    Thanks.

    +1 On that, I went from using a boiling kettle to microwave works brilliantly

    If your hot tap isn't hot enough the microwave is about the most convenient. Steamers take too much time. Usually in professional use they have the thing running all day to have a ready supply. We don't need that.

    My barber uses a crock pot. I don't know how great that will work for home use but that's the only advice I have.

    I saw this one at royal shave.

    I thought about it working after you build your lather you can hold it to your face and apply lather instantly afterward like they do in a barber. Between passes you apply again. My tap takes a minute to heat up and isn't always piping hot wastes water / time / and ruins the hot water in the sink. I just can't think of the space to put this thing but it intriguing.

    I use hot tap water and let the towel soak while I'm stropping, making lather, etc.
    I strop my razor with my eyes closed.

    I use a large crockpot. I set it on the lowest setting overnight so it will be ready in the morning. I only do that on weekends though.

    Wet the towel, wring out excess water. Place in microwave for about 45 seconds, remove and use.

    Caution..

    Contents are HOT..
