    I have used a Mr. Coffee electric mug warmer under my lathering bowl in the past.
    Would un-plug it after it got warm enough - to prevent it from getting too hot.
    Don't bother with it anymore.

    A quality scuttle holds enough water to keep things hot the entire shave. You don't want it too hot because many soaps break down the lather with hot water. Some don't even need typical tap hot water to deteriorate. You want a scuttle that holds around 20oz or more.

    This is all I use. I keep my Tabac in it... fill it up with hot water five minutes before I shave, put on the lid, soak my brush in hot water for the same, and by the time I finish my shower, I just pour off the water and it keeps the heat in just fine.

    I fill my scuttle up with hot water from the tap. my brush is also soaking in the hot water too. I take a shower. After I dry off, I dump the water in my scuttle and add new hot water to it. Lather stays nice and warm.
