I just had a thought, what about a small poppurie warmer. Those little gadgets that look like baby crock pots? You could work your lather in it and it would keep it all toasty warm. A waterless scuttle. Lynn had that super scuttle at the Ohio get together, that thing is as big as my bathroom sink!

I heard someone suggest one of those things you put your coffee on to keep the cup warm, it seemed like a decent idea.

I have found that I can build the best lather in a wide brim but shallow bowl. I have a nice stoneware one that is great. It looks unmanageable at first glance but it has a raised rim on the bottom as a base that lets me grip it and it nestles in my hand nicely.

I soak both it and my full moss scuttle in the sink in very hot water while I shower and the refill the scuttle as I am getting ready to shave.

Once I have built my lather, I transfer it to the scuttle....warm lather for as many passes as I want to make.

That's what I use to keep my lather warm throughout my shave. Works well for me. You can get'em at Wal-mart for $5 or so. Gotta be careful though. It actually gets too hot and will dry up your lather. I either use a very thick stone/ceramic bowl/mug or I turn the thing off halfway through my shave.

this is how I did it on the cheap.
