Greetings All,
I've kind of been on the lookout for a good shaving towel and have spotted these Professional Barber towels here :http://www.barberdepots.com/barber-towels/
The price seems right too.
The problem I have is that your normal department store face towel seems to be a real thick towel and usually of a size that's either too small or large. Something that when you soak it in hot water, becomes very heavy and awkward for face wrapping. Not to mention that they can soak up a easy gallon of hot water!
Since I'm a straight razor guy, a hot towel is a must to soften things up. But most of all, to wake one up so one is paying attention as to what one's doing!
One nice thing about a straight razor, since they're so sharp you don't even feel that cut when it happens!
Now on another note, I do believe that every bathroom counter should have a barbers towel steamer on it. Can't really convince the wife on that one yet! That would really be the berries now wouldn't it?
I guess the next best thing is the wet towel in the microwave.
I'm open to hearing what you folks use for towels (brand or store) and your method of steaming.
