Thread: Just bought a towel warmer

Towel Warmer Acquisition Disorder. (TWAD) If I'm the first, I'd like to get a patent if possible.

I plan to keep this in my listening room/office. I'll set some vinyl on my turntable and set back in my chair listening to music while my beard softens....I'm thinking a little Clubman might give the perfect fragrance to the hot steam as it pours into my nostrils.....Man this is gonna be good.

I just purchased this.

And this is different from
a) soaking it in hot water
b) microwave/oven
how? :P

While personally I'm not sure I'd ever buy a towel warmer, I would definitely not buy the particular brand of hatorade you're guzzling.

You've never had a towel from a towel warmer I can tell. We have them at the hospitals for patients. It's even better than warm clothes from the dryer in winter time. I wouldn't drop $132 bucks on one, but I know the joy OP is talking about.

I have thought about getting one. I already have a LatherKing hot lather machine a friend gave me. Unfortunately my barber is using it until his gets repaired. I actually only use it when I am in a hurry, the hot lather at the touch of a button is nice though.

I didn't mean what I said in a bad manner
I was just curios as to what the actual difference was :/

I have also looked at a few, I must admit. Largely because some also come with a UV disinfecting space, which sounds like it could come in handy.

Still, I have neither the cash nor the space for such a luxury item. :-(

I'm sure the OP will enjoy his purchase and I don't want to minimize his decision but to me I think sometimes we get overtaken by gagetitis and we wind up in the overkill category. Just my personal view.

I've found that the time spent preparing for a shave is very important. If time permits, and I have twenty minutes to soften my whiskers, my shave is incredible.

A shower is a nice way to soak up, but hot towels on the face is very relaxing....Of all the tools we buy-----Brushes, Razors, Stones, Scuttles, etc.... Why not buy ONE for the pre shave? This towel warmer cost me less than most pay for a brush. (or straight razor)

I'll post back later to see if this thing actually makes my preparation easier/ more enjoyable. I may find that the idea was a total waiste of time...Who knows. I may also find this to be the best part of my shave.......

I'll try almost anything once--twice if I like it.

I look forward to hearing back about your experience!

You make a good point about the price. If your experience is good, it could be worth substituting out that one razor purchase for a warmer instead...
