What shaving cream works the best with this dispenser

I normally use Barbasol, and it works flawlessly. I have also used Noxema with no issues. I have heard that some of the menthol shave creams could be a problem, but I have no personal experience with them. Not sure why "Gadget Man" is having problems with this very simple to use item.

i have had my new unit for about 4 months. its terrible. no mater what brand i use the unit does not properly heat the shavig cream. on my old unit, which i had for at least 8 years, the lather came out hot. not this one.

I use Barbasol, but I believe any quality shave cream will do about the same. I haven't tried gel.

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.

NO. You cannot have shaving cream, soap, or lotion of any kind on your legs while using the epilator. Your legs have to be dry. You can use shaving cream or a scrub in the shower a few days before just to relax your pores, and I would recommend using some kind of aloe afterwards. But you can't have any kind of moist product, not even water, on your legs while using the device.

That's the only downside. It doesn't slosh or anything. Ive actually switched over now and started using the Barbasol Shaving Cream safe now.... WAY sturdier and is more convincing.

I use Remington King of Shaves Alphagel with this razor (may favorite gel by far) and it works great - best shave I've had.

There is a small hole on the backside of the razor. You insert the nozzle from the Nivea Lotion can into the nozzle and dispense the lotion into the razor using that hole on the backside.

I have used it on its own, but personally I prefer it with a shave cream/gel. (I use "Kiss My Face")

I can achieve an equally great lather with both soaps, but it requires slightly different techniques. With regard to the actual shave I get, the cream certainly goes on thicker & creamier--which requires more time & precision & is great when I have more hair but annoying when there's not so much hair.

I use the soap that foams but I find that the dispenser sticks and is hard to use. The directions say to use any liquid soap and mix with water. I didn't like this result.

Just dish soap. It works great for liquid soaps (hand soaps or dish soap) and I expect it would work well for some creams, but it won't make foam soap for you. I think foaming soaps require a different kind of dispenser.

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

Sorry - I don't use the shaver with lotion. I use it dry as a regular shaver, and I find it's a better shavethan other Norelcos I've had.

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

Yes parker straight razors are the best . A shave with a straight razor will not leave bumps or irritation to skin with shave soap

Nothing on the Nivea for Men Sensitive Shaving Gel says one way or the other about what's recommended in terms of shaving tools, but I wouldn't use this cream with an electric shaver of any kind. It will gum up the gears of your electric shaver and may render it inoperable. Electric shavers exist so as to avoid manual shaving blades along with their accompanying creams and lathers. If you're not getting a good shave with your electric razor, switch back to the manual razor and use Nivea for Men Sensitive Shaving Gel.

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.

Personally, I have extremely sensitive skin, so I use the Nivea anti-irritation shaving gel with my Panasonic shaver. It leaves my skin very smooth and it really alleviates irritation. I also recommend using the Nivea anti-irritation aftershave balm if you have sensitive skin.
