Tried this technique for the first time this morning and WOW! - what a difference. Apart from the great feel of a hot towel, it provided the best shave yet. Normally after WTG and XTG there will be some spots that need to be redone. Not so this morning. I'll try and keep this going even on my working days. One issue was the towel started to go cold after about 30 seconds. Is this normal or should I try and get it hotter?
Thanks Kyle for putting me on to this one.
I got a super thick, super soft bath towel from Wally World and cut into fourths to make it about the same size as the towels I saw on ClassicShaving, and when they're that size, I have room to still fold it into fourths and cover my whole face. It stays hot/warm the whole time.
In other words, it's possible for it to stay hot the whole time...
