Before shaving I will run my brush under hot water
When I shave with my cream I run the bowl under hot water as well, which keeps the lather nice and hot, however, when using a bar of shaving cream I find that the bar will absorb the heat and I cannot keep the lather hot. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Get a scuttle, that should work. Maybe let the bowl you build the lather in stay in the sink with hot water surrounding it?

i agree with BobH sounds like a scuttle might be in your future. mine (dirty bird 1.5) keeps my lather warm through out a whole three pass shave. there are many different ones out there
excellent thanks guys, do you have a sight/scuttle you find especially worthy of purchasing? or is a scuttle a scuttle?
the dirty bird that i have is great, it has a large bowl with plenty of room to make the lather in. I have used an SRD scuttle, which is equally awesome, but has a much smaller lather bowl, it still works to make lather in and woks really well if you face lather and just need a warm spot to keep your brush between passes. I do plan on getting an SRD scuttle in the future. hope this helps a little.

I've got a dirty bird and a Robert Becker. I haven't been able to decide which I like better.
I have an Oskar scuttle from Germany. I think it's tops.
The only one I have ever used is the Becker (#02) and I love it. Great value IMHO.
The only one I currently own (vintage) and if I am not putting it to use my mug is 3/4 submerged in hot water in the sink.
