I inherited one of these from my father-in-law. It's probably in the 10-15 yo range.
I was using this on and off before discovering the brush and DE shaving. I think the trick to getting hot lather was expelling the lather very slowly. Sometimes it was too hot for my hand! Expelling quickly resulted in warm lather. Either way, much better than straight out of the can cold.
Note: The hotter the lather, the less foamy it was. The heat broke it down somewhat. Still usable though. And MUCH cheaper than a Lather King for just about the same experience. After reading the glowing reviews of canned Barbasol, I'm tempted to break it out again.
Haven't used it since the brush came online, but I remember the Lather Machine fondly. Recommended.
