I found this stuff to be less than useless. It actually reduces the effectiveness of the all around excellent Hydroplane Shave Cream. I have been using it for about 7 months, and I can tell you I have yet to experience the "hot towel" effect. I know that some people swear it works, but count me out. Save your money and just buy the Hydroplane Shave Cream. It works great all on its own!

Skip this product. By the time you rub it together in your hands it has heated up and the heat has left. It is warm on your face for maybe 2-3 seconds. I expected it to stay warm while I shaved.

The super slick shave cream on the other hand rocks. Best shaving cream I have ever used. Buy the shave cream, skip the hot towel.

This stuff is okay, but not worth the price for me. The heat feeling is nice, but it doesn't do anything for the comfort of the shave itself. I expected a better experience.

I just tried this product for the first time. It may work great with their hydroplane shave product, but i prefer a heavy lather so i used it with edwin jagger shave cream/brush and a merkur DE safety razor. I usually shave right out of the shower so i was disappointed when the warming sensation was short lived and barely noticeable. As for the quality and closeness of the shave, there was absolutely no improvement. I did my usual three reduction passes, and the final product was, if anything, rougher than normal.
For the price and quality this wont be making it into my shave routine.

This was a father's day splurge, purchased with the more highly rated hydroplane shaving cream. Although the hot towel treatment cleverly creates a burst of exothermic heat on my face, the sensation is fleeting and unfortunately not worth anything near what I paid for it. If you get your face wet enough, and you put enough of the cream in your hand, and you get the cream to your wet face, you will feel two to five seconds of heat. Not a chemical kind of burn, but genuine heat. I found that it is almost identical to splashing hot water on my face. Now, the second aspect of this product is that it feels like a clean, lightweight lotion. I've tried shaving with it and without it, with dull blades, with sharp blades. I think it might improve my shave, though minimally. Lastly, the product smells good. It smells better than the hydroplane cream. That's it. Neat how they did that, but don't buy it.

Aside from this being over priced, I absolutely LOVED this product. I used it after a shower to soften my facial hair and head for shaving (I like the clean look). At first, it warms up quickly - which is incredible... but then it fades leaving a nice slick layer to shave on. I will be buying this product again and I would recommend it to my friends.

Nice smell, really makes you face smooth and easy to shave.
Mixed 1/2 & 1/2 with Billy Jealously shave cream.
Only complaint - not very visible (not foamy)to track your shave.

This product is as great as it sounds. It literally warms your face, and you then put regular shaving cream over it. I have no idea how it works, but it is both extremely comrotable, and has resulted in my closest shaves ever!

I've always been a pretty cynical person. Before purchasing the Hot Towel pre-shave treatment, I read many glowing reviews. Between this and the Hydroplane shaving cream, it sounded like a lot of hype. A clean shave is hard to come by. I've tried many products to get the best possible shave, and this combined with Hydroplane shaving cream(I should really call it a shaving lotion), has blown me away. I will leave this review simple and sweet: Wet your face; apply Hot Towel; prepare for one of the best sensations you'll ever feel on your skin.

I bought this for my husband, along with the Billy Jealousy Hydoplane Shave Cream and he just loves it. His face feels much smoother after using these products than it did with his old shaving cream.
