Amazon.com Review

This is not a gadget for the guy who's nostalgic for the days of soap bowls and shaving brushes. Shake your can of shaving foam, slide it into this 9-inch-high unit, and a minute later it will dispense preheated lather right into your hand. The warm lather feels better on your skin and softens hair for a smoother, closer shave. It works with most standard-size (11- or 14.75-ounce) foam cans but is not intended for use with shaving gel. --Richard Farr

It heats up in approximately 1 minute, and works with standard size or large size shaving cream cans (Patent pending bottom plate adjusts for easy fit).

5.0 out of 5 stars Barbershop Pampering, July 9, 2003

I still go to an old-fashioned barber, and my favorite part of the experience is the warm lather in the barber shop. I had looked around for a hot lather machine for a while, but unsuccessfully. A few years ago, I received a Conair hot lather machine as a gift, and it has been wonderful! It warms nicely, and it has a thermostat to keep your lather from getting too hot.

This machine has been great to me. Just remember to read and follow the instructions - if you don't shake the unit before turning it on, the lather will come out all watery and hot. If you're even just thinking about getting a hot lather machine, buy it. It's worth the inexpensive price to pamper yourself, and it lasts forever.

The Conair hot lather machine works fairly easily. Take a standard can of shaving cream, pop off the top and the dispensor cap, and insert and secure it into the hot lather machine. After you plug it the red light will turn on, and when the lather is 'hot' you'll see it switch over to green, which only takes a few minutes.

The lather does dispense comfortably hot in your hand, but it very rapidly loses its heat. Its no exaggeration to say that by the time you put your hand to your face the lather has become tepid, and once you're ready to shave the lather is no warmer than it would have been had you dispensed it from the can directly.

I'm going to store this machine until winter, when it might prove more useful. It doesn't seem to be worth the trouble right now with spring and summer coming up.

I bought this gift for my dad, and he is one hard person to shop for. He loved it! I would recomend this to anyone who has a male who is hard to shop for. Men hate shaving, and this simple, yet pratical machine makes it a little easier on them. 5 stars!
