How important is it to keep lather warm between passes and what are anyones recommendations for doing so. I'm currently using a ramekin for lathering and find that for the second pass the lather is cold. I'm not sure it that makes a difference to anything or not.
My one and only proper barbers shave was in Hoboken, New Jersey. The barber had a silver box on the counter that warm lather came out of on tap (a bit like a Mr Whippy ice cream, other brands available, etc). He was amazed that I was surprised at this, but not as amazed as when I told him that barbers in the UK did not offer hot shaves which was the case at that time.
Anyway should lather be kept warm and if so how. I have a round bottomed sink and like to rinse my razor under running water so setting it in a sink of warm water doesn't really work for me..........
