Latherizer Optimizer - Original Lather King Latherizer disassemble and cleaning video.

A quick but thorough video on how to take apart, clean and put back together the Original Lather King Latherizer. The video quality is not so great but the information is. I post this up to help some of my Barber friends. Hope it helps.

I just put one of these machines back together, thanks to this video. It will be up and running in the shop tomorrow. Thanks again for making this video!

I have a chrome version. It just spits out almost like water. It’s the Campbels mix. What would cause that?

[@Shonlawhon]

First, I would try to make a more concentrated lather mix by adding more lather. If the mix is too watery, it will just spit.
If that doesn’t fix it the whipping chamber inside, probably has soap deposits built up. It will probably need to be taken apart scraped clean and reassembled. Good luck. Let me know how it goes. These machines are very resilient and easy to clean. Give it a shot. Let me know how it goes.

What do you do if it’s leaking?

[@Shonlawhon]

Where is leaking from? It could be a crack in the plastic reservoir. Or the reservoir spring valve needs to be tightened. Check it out. Let me know if you know the source of the leak and I can help send me a picture.

⁠​⁠@@Shonlawhonits leaking out the bottom. The plastic looks good no cracks must be the spring valve i’ll try that

[@Shonlawhon]

The spring valve probably just needs to be tightened. Inside the base of the reservoir, you’ll see a little hex head nut. Good luck I hope this works for you.
