I'm glad this thread popped up again. I've been using a slight variant with success.
I shower with Yardley's, which is a real tallow soap (at least here in the US it still is), a quality product. The last thing I do in the shower is crank up the water heat a little, lather my face with a bar of Yardleys and apply the wet towel for the three minutes.
Then I wipe my face, rinse both the towel and myself off, step out, dry off and throw on the robe, lather up and shave.
This helps for a number of reasons.
One, if the towel is cooling, I can lean in and add fresh hot water.
Two, the mess stays in the shower.
Three, I don't have to make extra lather for the blade, as the Yardley's does the trick.
