I use a Hot towel very briefly after I take my morning shower to clean off my skin. I then use a product called "Hot Towel" By Billy Jealousy. My Girl friend works at a Mens Grooming Lounge so I have had the chance to try a lot of good products. But I strongly recommend Billy Jealousy's Hot Towel Product to be used in conjunction with a real hot towel especially for people like me who have to grab the train every morning and don't have the time for a crock pot.
