Hot Shaving Towel prep

[Adair]

Forgive me if there has been a thread about this before---I couldn't find it. But, what is the best way to heat up a shaving towel for the morning ritual? Boiling water? (Ouch!)

I know some folks do use the boiling water from a kettle or electric pot, but when I want the hot towel deal, I just wet a handtowel, semi wring it out, put it on a plate and zap it in the microwave for a burst.
Pretty easy cheezy.

Getting one from the Dryer works too if you shave after towels have finished drying in the dryer after washing them. It only happens a few times a year, but they work well!

We have hot water coming out of the taps out our way, not sure how you guys in the wilderness do it

is it ok to microwave a wet terry towel?

Yes. Terry cloth is used in many microwaveable heat compresses.
