Can you use this razor without the cleaning station
331695
not as is. the cleaning station is the only way to charge the razor as far as i know. you may be able to buy a different stand/charger.
331696
you can only use it till it loose its charge, then you have to charge it someway. Cleaning station charges it too.
331697
Yes you can. (That's how I used it for the first few months) the power core that you use on the cleaning station is the same cord you can use to just charge it on travel.

Yes-- my husband uses just the razor. (in fact the last time he "cleaned" it was when he took it in the shower and shaved with it!)-- SO, yes you can use it with out the cleaning station-- but it is still a good idea to clean it (some way) every-so-often. :)

Yes, I actually haven't used the cleaning station since I ran out of cleanser.

I'm not sure. You may not need to. It cleans really well and a little conditioner goes a long way.

You don't need to take the stand or have canned air. This Panasonic charges directly from its wallwart power supply without the stand. You can leave it at home. Furthermore, all you need to clean it while traveling is liquid soap. Put some soap into the shaving surface, get the hot water running, start the shaver but hold down the "on" button a little longer than usual. The razor will come on running extra fast to help clean itself. I'd only take the power supply if I were to be gone longer than 3 weeks at a time (after a full charge, of course).

Yes it most certainly can, as the cable connected to the back of the cleaning station can be unplugged and connected instead to the bottom of the shaver where an identical cable plughole is located.

No, you cannot remove the blade from the container, although the base of the inside (by the blade) is fairly flat and not hard to clean. If I can't get mine clean, I rinse out what I can, fill it with water to cover the blades, put it back on the base, turn it on low and put a drop of soap in.

Maybe. The biggest problem with shaving with a classic DE in the shower is that (for me at least) it takes at least twice as long to get a smooth result as with a good disposable or cartridge razor. So get ready for higher utility bills. Otherwise, it works fine. It's a little easier to cut yourself, so go easy at first. I don' think a mirror is necessary if you're used to shaving without one.Ps-Leaving the razor wet could theoretically affect the blades, but to say--as an earlier poster does--that you'll only get one shave, is a huge exaggeration. Safety razor blades aren't any more susceptible to water damage in the shower than any other razor blades. Maybe.

yes ... just bring the cord that attaches the cleaning system to the wall ... hold the shaver underneath running water to clean

It is relatively easy to clean. I use the brush to brush away the hairs, then I hold the heads under running water. You can NOT place the unit under water. I then run the razor upside down over the sink and let the remains run out. Then I wipe it dry. It is important to clean after each use or the machine will catch and pull. I know!

Yes you can if you would like to it will clean off very easily but you will find you do not really need it.

Im not sure. I only bought the shaver. I rinse this shaver (with the shaving head removed) after every use with warm water. I would go to the Braun website to check if there is a set with the cleaning unit.

It has a razor side and a trimming side and I have never used the razor side which you would need for a clean shave. The trimming side would be ideal for trimming of your bikini area but the rest I am ignorant of.

It is not necessary. The cleaner has an auto-adjust system which will take care of all surfaces. Nothing to do.

I don't use the cleaner at all. I rinse the shaver with water, put some liquid soap on the blades, run the shaver in the "ultra sonic" mode, and then rinse again. It works great.

Yes the shaver charges in the cleaning port when you need to do a maintenance type of cleaning. Not an everyday thing. But, the answer to the other question is No you do not need the cleaning port with you when you travel. It comes with a small charging stand that folds and uses the same cord that you use with cleaning port. This is a great razor. Bought this for my son andhe loves it.

Hi Richard,Yes. From page three of the Operating Instructions: "Thank you for choosing a Panasonic shaver ES-LT41. With our WET/DRY technology, you can enjoy using your Panasonic shaver dry or in the shower or bath for gentle and easy shaving. Please read all instructions before use." You can use lather, too. It seems as if that would be awfully messy, but in the shower, who cares?Full disclosure: I've gotten such terrific dry shaves since I bought this little jewel that I haven't tried wet shaving. Have fun!Grant. :-)

Not necessary. You can clean it using the Sonic Vibrating Cleaning Mode, which takes just a minute to clean it. I use the cleaner liquid alternatively and it charges as well as cleans at the same time. You can also leave the shaver in the charger as it doesn't over charge.

You can clean the razor head with basic hand soap, water and running the razor. Special soap is not necessary.
