I remember using this around 1980. Once again, feeling old.

You might be onto something here.Maybe he did!
This - All it needs is the multiblade cart attachment on the bottom of the can ...

A lot of close minded people on this forum, unfortunately.
As I said earlier, I had something similar back in the 80’s and it worked well. Is it as good as a traditional soap or cream with brush? For me, no, but others may have a different opinion. Why knock it? Especially since most of you have never tried it. It’s easy to use, convenient, and works with whatever canned shaving cream you might like.
Not only that, but maybe that’s the first step to someone discovering whats available with brushes and soaps/creams. Imagine they started googling and came to this thread to see all snobbery that’s been posted. Might turn them off to the hobby.
If it works and you are happy with it, then more power to you. Welcome to the club!

My dad had one of these in the 70s or 80s.
I see your point. Truly, I think I sometimes am that which I despise in others.
I hope I didn't come across as intolerant of a person who uses that device, as in my mind I thought I was critical of the product. I guess I just don't get it.
I do kinda miss the thing my Dad had back in the 70's that heated up your shaving foam can.
No, this world is too wicked for me to want to pile on the crap. Forgive me please if I was a jerk.

I think my dad may have. I was mostly a self absorbed brat back then. I'm much more mature today!
Tsk..tsk..tsk I thought there would be a self sharpening razor opposite to the brush. This is yesteryear tech. 
The designers said air horn. The production line heard hair horn.
In the 80s and 90s some people also thought that a TV/VCR combo was cool. It wasn't.
Why use these things(s)? It would take away from the fun lathering up each morning.
I can only think speed.
Hadn’t seen it before this thread. Their videos on the YouTube channel are worth a look if you find cheesy commercials funny.
That Peltzer invention - the bathroom buddy? - from Gremlins was exactly what came to mind when I saw this.
Come to think of it there’s a similar shaving foam gimmicky ‘device’ that goes wrong in a Frasier episode - the “hot and foamy.”
Might be a good gift for someone who likes trying gadgets.
That’s ludicrous
Also why does it say it’s an all-in-one shave tool? Where’s the razor?
It should be called ‘the Peltzer shave station’ (one for the gremlins fans in here)

I love my Omega 11126, regardless of which soap or cream I use.
I had one of those in the late 80s. It was a Conair lather warmer. Worked for maybe two weeks then stopped. That always irked me, but I must say I did like the warm lather. You couldn't pay me to go back to it now, though. Apparently they still sell them. Amazing!
I want a "beaver hair" shaving brush. Every man in America is going to want a Genuine Beaver Hair Shaving Brush. Someone is going to make a fortune selling "genuine beaver" shaving brushes.
Just think how much fun collecting all that beaver fur is going to be! I want that job.

My sister gave me one of these as a gift in the 90s. Warm lather felt nice, but I do remember it not lasting very long as well
I honestly don't know what happened to ours. I have a feeling dad just didn't like the hassle. He liked his toys, but not gimmicky stuff, if that makes sense.
