    Nice method, Alan. What kind of "cylinder" do you use?

    Here's my current method:

    Fill the sink with HOT water.
    Let towel soak in water while I make my lather
    Apply lather, wring out towel, and wrap face in towel
    Strop
    Wipe face clean and reapply lather

    Then between each pass, I soak another towel and wrap my face before continuing. Feels fantastic!

    Sorry I missed this. You simply roll the towel into a cylindrical shape.

    you guys make this way too complicated! microwave a damp towel. wrap your face, lather, shave, wrap, lather, shave. drop towel in bowl of ice water and wrap again. (it feels great!!!) done!

    Hey after a hot shower I don't see a need to put a hot towel on your face. I tried doing it once but didn't see any improvement, I had just come out of a hot shower and their wasn't any noticible difference.

    I've really been meaning to try this. Normally I don't bother too much with prep, just lather and sometimes wait a minute or two. I just shave the chin/neck last so it has more time to soak up lather.

    Should make the hairs much easier to cut, but does it reduce razor burn or nicks? Or what exactly is the reason to prep this throughly?
