Product Description

Ever wonder why a barber shop shave is so much better than the kind you give yourself at home? Hot lather softens beard hairs for a smoother, closer shave. Now you can enjoy the same rich, luxurious experience every day with Conair's hot lather machine. Simply remove the bottom plate, place any brand of shaving cream (not gel!) in the bottom compartment, and give the whole thing a quick shake before turning it on. When the indicator light turns green (usually after about a minute), your lather is ready. Best of all, the machine doesn't take up any more space on crowded bathroom counters than a single can of shaving cream. A perfect gift for the man who has everything--or the woman; hot lather is great for shaving legs, too. --Mary Park

A Real Barbershop Shave at Home
 
Review Date: January 8, 2004
Reviewer: Gord Wilson, Bellingham, WA USA
Everyone who tries my hot lather machine wants one, but the problem is they're going, going, gone. Sunbeam, Gillette and other companies have made versions in the past, but they never sell well enough to stay in production. Although this Conair machine is inexpensive, it's well-made and solves some problems of past dispensers. You shake the dispenser before use (which shakes up the can inside), then plug it in and turn on the switch. A red light indicates it's on, and when the green lamp lights, it's ready to shave.You dispense lather by pressing the top black button. The earlier Conair dispenser was white, but this deluxe one is silver and black plastic. It uses any standard 11 or 14 oz. shave cream can (like Foamy), and enhances any shaving routine. Use it with a blade razor (like a Mach III), or dispense the lather into a mug and apply it with a brush. Hot lather also works great with a wet/dry shaver like the Panasonic Sonic III. My suggestion is to get an extra dispenser as a back-up in case yours goes out (my first one did after about a year). Also makes a great gift. The next best thing to a barbershop shave.
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!

This machine is what every man (and woman too) should have in their bathroom! Trust me, once you try it you wouldn't want to go back to ordinary shaving. It gives you a long-lasting close shave and a scent that last even longer... My girlfriend loves the way I smell. Also, it is a nice piece of design complemented by the ribbed mirror chrome finish. I highly recommend it!!!
Excellent Product!

My wife bought me this item for Christmas. I have always been a "mug & brush man" and was somewhat scheptical. However, this machine once you get used to it, ends up giving you a "barbershop shave".

Just read the instructions carefully especially the part about prying off the regular dispensor cap from the shaving cream can before inserting into the dispenser. As the product is hot when it comes out and really expands, you really need to use a light touch on the dispenser or you will get to much lather.

If you use a scented lather like I do, the fragrence really last longer without being too much. A very nice way to start the day!

    I personally have always put my lather into a sink of hot water and let it heat up for free. But if this works good I’ll give it a try. Hot shaving cream is SOO much better.
