Just realized my hot towel routine was way off

I've been a barber for 7 years and always just threw a towel in the steamer for a minute and slapped it on. Last week a customer told me his old barber in Chicago would wrap it around his face for a full 3 minutes before the shave. He said it made the hair way softer. I tried it on my next 5 shaves and now I'm never going back to rushing it. Has anyone else found a weird little tweak that totally changed your results?

... and here I thought I was fancy for using a steamer at all instead of just running it under hot water. I've been doing a solid 90 second prewrap for years and my shaves were okay but not great. You're telling me I've been shortchanging myself by like 90 seconds this whole time? My face is about to get a whole lot softer and my wife is gonna be real confused why I'm standing in the bathroom with a towel on my face like a weirdo for 3 minutes.

Three minutes is the sweet spot, stop being a cheapskate with your prep time.
