For those of you that might prefer warm lather, how do you achieve it?
I came across this marbel shaving bowl on Amazon. It's $35 and I've made myself promise not to buy it or any more shaving products for a while. (The new shaving soap and aftershave balm arriving tomorrow don't count.)

Among other things it claims that the "Bowl will naturally retain the heat and warm up your shaving lather for a more comfortable shave."
It got me to thinking that my soap is always cold when it gets to my face. And for all I know, that might be the way I prefer it. It's refreshing at times. I also wonder if the cool soap might close my pores. And so help me I can't get warm lather. And so help me it sounds nice.
I definitely prefer soap to cream and lathering in a bowl. I've tried warm and hot water but it doesn't make a difference.
Right now I'm loading to brush and transferring the soap to a bowl about 3 times to get enough lather for multiple passes. No way would the small amount of water I'm using keep the soap warm for that long.
Maybe I should use more water? Or are you suggesting I buy the bowl and try it? If so thats hard to argue.
