Yes, it must be the cup warmer.. (Come on Amazon, lol.) If the barber was doing it, he probably does it regularly, so it probably works okay. It wouldn't explode or anything, because there is an opening where the pressure would release. I think if it heated up too much the shaving cream would start coming out slowly, so then you could just take it off the heat. And it doesn't get hot enough to burn it. No reason not to try it out. :) But yes, it would probably take a long time.

While this clipper is recommended by many groomers, like any other clipper the blades do get hot. It depends on how long the hair is before heating up, if grooming just one dog . We purchased the coolant for the blades but find it does not help that much. Most all groomers have numerous blades of the same size to prevent the heat problem. We have been using the blade combs and it takes longer to cut our poodle's hair therefore heating up. We have just purchased the ceramic blades since they supposedly do not heat up like the regular ones and we will not use the comb attachments. Keep in mind the clipper will heat up quicker when run on high speed. While this clipper is recommended by many groomers, like any other clipper the blades do get hot.

Probably just me, but shaving in the shower with a DE razor would be like trying to drive while blindfolded. I need to see my face with the razor touching my face. If not, I have visions of "Sweeney Todd" flashing in front of my eyes. And as many say, the razor needs to be dried (and kept dry) after each shave. It's not a cheap plastic razor like we are all used to.

I don't know- but I would not recommend it. There are special lotions out there for electric shavers, so you might want to look into that. I have always used a razor- I tried an electric shaver once and it's not for me.

It is not a shaver so the use of cream and soap is not advised. This is more like a mini/travel hair clipper similar to what a barbershop uses.

I thought I was the only one in this forum that had been a purchaser of the mangroomer and had the trimmer break on me. I bought the backspa back shaver not too long ago and not only is my back the smoothest it's been in a very long time but I'm happier in the process not dealing with equipment that doesn't work. I'm also saving so much money because after each back shaver kept letting me down I finally went and was getting back waxings done and not only did it get pricey but it couldn't stand the pain. I was literally drinking beers before going to my sessions! lol Anyways, very happy with the results of this shaver.

As a barber I've used a hot towel warmer for years. My preferred method is to fold the towel twice over, wet it, roll it, and wring it out, then put in the warmer. Without wringing it out it would be too hot and drippy. Dry it wouldn't hold it's heat once out. Plus... This isn't the sort of towel warmer to use for say... Warming a bath towel. More of a hand, neck, or face towel warmer. Hope that was helpful

I use the product as directed and I have had great results; but before I found this product I went to my beautician and got professional treatments. The device my beautician used was a professional grade but even the treatments I received there only lasted a few minutes. The purpose of this device is to stimulate the scalp. I will say that because this device is not professional grade it may not seem like anything is happening but trust me, it is working. Gradually after a few weeks you will notice a healthier scalp and see stains of new stronger healthier hair. If after 6 weeks or so you see no results you may want to consult a Hair Specialist or Dermatologist.

I haven't used shaving gels or creams with the razor. I think as long as you can thoroughly wash the razor it should be good. Overall I really like the razor.

Does it really matter? The device is meant to burn skin. If you are going to use it on something else, then you're better off with a soldering iron. The tip of the device is thinner than a paper clip.

They take a little more time to use, but the results are well worth the time. The old idea of using a bowl and brush works so well that it is a wonder that anyone thought those shaving cream cans were an improvement. And, with a little getting used to it, the ritual of creating the lather, etc., is more fun. But the bottom line is that these "old fashioned" razors do produce a much better shave. There is no comparison.

I have never done it, but on shaving blogs, I heard it can be done, just make sure you do it with the wrapper still on...

Yes, you can.. There is no need for shaving cream or foam with electrical shaving devices.Please note this is for body hair/beard trimming/hair trim only - it is not a electrical razor machine for clean, close shaving (buy Braun for that!).

I saw a video online. Some guy shaved his face with it. From what i recall, he says it works good.

I use it as soon as shaved..does not stick together real well till melted a little..& how long does it last depends on how hot it is at your location..I use the machine for just me so I only shave enuf for about 2-3 cones..

I agree on the gentler solution. This is more for detail work in my opinion, gives a nice close shave. Not sure that it's a good choice for what you want to do.

I will assume you mean trimming sideburns and mustaches with the POP-UP TRIMMER and are not referring to shaving in general. Yes, you can see what you are trimming. I will add though that I have never used an electric shaver with a trimming device that had what I'd call really great visibility. The shaver itself would have to at least partially block your view at some angles. This shaver is a good one.
