Do I need to use shaving cream when shaving groin area?

I use a dab of body wash or conditioner just to help the trimmer glide a bit better.

I've used both, but the smoothest shave will come from a product that does not foam up. I wouldn't recommend either typical shave "cream," which is foam, or the gel, which turns into foam as soon as you smear it around. Very little of the foam is actually at the point of contact between the blade and your beard, so most of it just goes to waste without helping lubricate. If you don't want to mix your own cream in a bowl, I recommend something like Cremo Cream Cremo Astonishingly Superior Shave Cream, 6 Fluid Ounce . I got a couple bottles for free several years ago in a promotion, and I've never gone back to shave gels out of a can.

I know of no reason that you can't use it for all areas of the body. It is use in lieu of shaving cream so any place you use shaving cream, you should be able to use Shave Secret.

Yes. You can also use it with shaving cream.My previous electric razor was uncomfortable and I ended up going to straight blades for several years. The reason I purchased this razor is for the wet functionality, thinking it would help with comfort. As it turns out, I get a much more comfortable, clean, close shave using it dry. Provides me the least irritation of any razor (electric or straight blade) I've ever used.

It is shave cream. I sometimes put a little shave oil on before applying it but the cream by itself is good enough.

You definitely can, my husband been using it without cream since we bought it.

I guess I'm not certain how to respond because I'm not sure what you mean by "protection".This pre-shave cream is meant to softened your skin and any facial hair you may have in preparation to make the shave closer and smoother. This product is incredibly worth it. I adore it and will not shave without it. It also gives your face that "cooling" feeling, which I love. For best Shave results, also use Proraso shave cream. These products changed me from hating having to shave to looking forward to it.

I would not recommend it for after shaving. It can irritate the skin. Of course, you may see how that can work for you. Everyone's skin is different. When I used it, it left my skin pink from irritation. But it goes away.

You can use any soap for shaving. If you have sensitive skin the lavender will help. Try long smooth strokes and don't push so hard on your skin while shaving. Also put a warm towel on your face before shaving and in the summer use cold water to shave. After shaving use a good moisturizer and you should be all good. It sounds like a lot of work but it either that or go out with the Grand Canyon on your neck.

I prefer a straight razor and shaving cream, that being said....don't think i would use it there.

This is not a problem that I have experienced and I have very oily skin. I use shaving cream each time I shave since it gives a closer shave and feels better than shaving dry. I clean the shaver under the hot water faucet after each shave. The foil and blades are still like new with no residue or other sign of any kind of buildup.

This is the best shaving cream I ever used. Never had any issues with it. Been shaving over 20 yrs

I'm sure you'd be able to use "gel" shaving cream, although I would apply it with a brush to stimulate the facial hair. I haven't as I enjoy the mug and brush routine now. The EJ razor is excellent and I'm confident you'd get a great shave either way.

Yes you can use both ways. I wash my face then put a warm towel on my face for a couple minutes and shave with a shave gel. At the bottom of the shaver there is a hole to let the moisture out.

I have never tried the cream. When I inquired a similar question to the manufacturer their reply: "it is just preference." If you use one, you don't use the other.
