It occurred to me that if you want hot lather and the ability to control the heat, why not use a crock pot? It works fantastic and you can get them as small as 1 quart. The one pictured is 1.5 quarts and was only $8.00 at Target.

But the question is, Vinny, how did it work for you?

Fabulous!
I'm tempted. You say those tiny crockpots can be had at the expensive French place (Tar-zhay . . .) for eight bucks?
The cook in me says that is so wrong. Fondue yeah, rotel dip yeah, SC no.... but the price IS right.
I got a 'free' crock pot that size when I bought a regular size crock pot. It was either at Target or Walmart.

That is correct..$ 8.00
Is the "Crock" removable for cleaning? That would be a huge plus some of these do not. I did come across this little wonder and am debating buying one to see if would work for keeping my lather warm. One of the reviews on Amazon said a guy actually cooks macaroni in this so it should get warm enough. Really a variation on the mini crock pot but it is removable from the base....
That is actually a very good idea.
For some reason though, electric appliances in the bathroom always make me nervous. Perhaps I was shocked as a child.

Neat idea. I didn't know crock pots came in sizes that small. My concern would be that it would get too hot, even on the low setting and end up burning me.
I have one of these. Mine wouldn't get hot enough to cook pasta, but it would keep lather warm.
Vinny that is a great idea.
How many settings (warm, low, high etc) does that pot have and which one do you use?

If you want to get it down to an even lower heat and have no respect for "electrical safety" you can do like my grandfather did for a soldering iron; wire up a dimmer switch to an extention cord so that you can control the electricity and thus heat available before it even gets to the pot.
Make sure you check the wattage of the dimmer. The five-dollar kind generally won't cut it for a 450-1000W hot pot.
