Abstract
A dispenser for heating and dispensing, to a user through an outlet, a foaming liquid, such as shaving cream from a pressurized can of such cream. The foaming liquid, when initially heated in the dispenser's heat chamber may undesirably produce steam and or a runny liquid that would be dangerous or at least undesirable to a user. In accordance with the invention, a trap is placed near the outlet to capture the steam or runny liquid. Since shaving cream cans come in two lengths, in accordance with another aspect of the invention, a reversible end cap is disclosed which will retain either of two sizes of shaving cream in the dispenser.
