Flannel, brush and bowl all warm up in sink.
Prep lather, leave lather in bowl floating on water
Wring out flannel and press against face for 20secs
Go back for nice warm lather

How many people use a hot towel?
Daily or once in a while?
Microwave or tap? Or stove?
Do you notice a huge difference in the shave?
Any tips?
I use one only once in a while to be honest, I do find it makes a little difference in the speed of prep (it's quicker to soften hair) but that's about it. If I have more time I just have a long shower.
My tap water is pretty hot so I just run it under that and be done.
The only tip I can offer is that I find that bar towels (Those that catch the drips in the pub) are an ideal size... not too big. Fold them once lengthways and wrap against chin. Once done, hang it on the towel rail and the whole thing is dry by evening. I've often wondered what sort (and size) of towels other men use.

Hi fellow Yankee Doodler,
Well, I stand at the sink with the towel on my face, thinking about petting bunnies. They are so soft and fluffy.
I figured everyone did the same thing.
