Introduction
 On
the surface, this product would appear to be for men only. However,
we women have legs, and most of us have to shave them. Early on in
life, I discovered that men’s shaving cream is far superior to
soap and water for both comfort and a close shave.
So when I had the chance to check out the Conair
Hot Lather Machine, I jumped at it. All that hot lather; who
wouldn’t? Note:
This product comes in the elegant chrome or the practical non-chrome
versions.
Nice facts about the Conair Hot Lather Machine:
- Heats up in approximately one minute
- Has a "Ready" Indicator Light
- Contains an "On" Indicator
Light
- Comes with a elegant deluxe chrome finish
with classy black accents
- Works with Standard or Large Size Shaving
Cream (11 and 14 ounce cans)
Note:
This machine does not work with shaving gels.
And if all that weren’t enough, it doesn’t take up much
room in the bathroom.
Back
in my grandfather’s day, barbers used hot lather as a matter of
course. They didn’t say so back then, but it made an ordinary
shave a real spa experience. Also, when you use hot lather, you get
a smooth shave with very little skin irritation.
Remember,
it’s not too early to think about holiday gift-giving. The
Conair Hot Lather Machine would make a terrific gift for a man or
woman. (Remember to give them a can of shaving cream along with it!)
How
I Tested the Conair Hot Lather Machine
It had
been an extremely busy week, and my showers had been of the
in-and-out variety with none of my usual singing, scalp massage,
callus removal, or shaving. So when I finally took a good look at my
legs, I could have easily been an extra in the new Planet of the
Apes movie.
As it
happened, there was a great movie on TV that I didn’t want to
miss, so I plugged in the hot lather machine in my bathroom (which
faces the TV). Inside of a minute, I had loads of lovely, hot lather
to slather all over my hairy legs. I shaved them over the sink, and
was pleasantly surprised at how silky my legs felt afterward. The
hot lather not only softens up the hair, but moisturizes the skin as
well. It’s something I could really get used to—anything
remotely resembling a spa experience is ok with me!
The
only downside I see is if you’re in too much of a hurry to use it.
Let’s face it—there are days when you can barely manage the
basics, never mind the luxuries!
Conclusion
This
is a great little product, and an inexpensive and easy way to pamper
yourself or someone else. It takes up less room on your vanity than
a Kleenex box, and the chrome finish makes it attractive to look at
as well.
