Thread: What Ever Floats Your Boat. Hot Lather

I do that. I rinse the razor in the water and I also use it to wash my face before I have a shave so I don't reckon it's wasted.

Wher ever it was that was having the bowl tip up, use a bigger bowl.

I used to do that with a metal bowl; but changed all that when I bought a "red neck scuddle" I like to use the sink to rinse the blade and wipe in in a folded barber's towel that I keep in front of me.

Ever seen an electric heating element that clips inside a mug to keep the coffee or soup hot? I put a coffee mug in my sink, and use the heating element to keep the water hot. That works well for dipping my blade, and putting hot water on my brush.

(A dip of the brush, sling the water off, a swirl in the lather, and I have hot lather to reapply to my face.)

I'm going to use my toasters heating element to keep the water in my sink warm for lathering! Wish me luck.

Seriously though, if I ever tried to float a lather cup, it'd be submerged before I managed to get the lather made. Electric kettle + scuttle = win.

I don't think that your wasting anymore hot water than someone running the water on and off or worse yet letting it run and having energy just go down the sink. You could be using less, easy enough to figure out.
That shaving mug is(was) my wifes tea cup, but I love the wide top for whipping up lather quick. Don't you guys rat me out and tell her. Darn good floater too.

I used to do that with the water lower. I had it tip over too many times and get cold too quick. Now I have a better way......


I have coffee mug that is the right size for my metal soap dish. I nuke water in the mug and then set the soap dish in the top. I started at 2 minutes in the microwave and now only do 1 minute. Can get piping hot lather if desired. Works very well. Highly recommend it. Just look around in the kitchen and you will find a combo that works.

Here is my Redneck scuttle....
