Hot Towel Anyone?

[Spytaco]

Hello there,

Im back into the classic wetshave after a drought using a cartridge razor for some time.

I want to restore my shave den to its original awesomeness, and more!

I am looking for a hot towel warmer/steamer cabinet, or unit shaped in a different way, to sit on my bathroom counter and heat up a few towels for use after my hot shower.

Any suggestions? Brands? Types of configurations? Models to stay away from?
and the towels themselves? special 'steaming' towels vs traditional washcloths?

Im eager to rendezvous with my beautiful Dovo and strop once again.

thanks for any input!

-Colin

Also is the UV sterilization that is advertized in some models worth the price? any reason to choose a model based on weather or not it has a UV serialize?

If you aren't picky about it looking a certain way, I'd personally use a small crockpot, and it'd be a whole lot cheaper. I would think sterilization wouldn't be necessary and any barber sized towel would do.

If you really have to have an actual towel warmer, you'll pay about 3-4 times as much, for something that doesn't perform nearly as well.

I read the title and immediately pictured Larry Bud Melman passing out warm towels at a NYC bus station.
