Do I have to buy the RazorPit foam separately or can I use any kind of shaving cream?

You can use any kind of shaving cream. I use a shaving brush and shaving soap.

Any kind of shave cream should work. I use regular edge gel shave cream and it works like a charm.

You don't HAVE to use shaving cream, it just CAN be used with it. I have this (got it from the same Gold Box deal - spontaneous buy) and LOVE it. Best shave I've ever gotten, electric or blade. I use it in the shower, but have used it dry. I happen to think it gives a better shave when wet, but that's been my experience in general - I always shave wet. I'm going to give it a try with shaving cream now that I've had a few months without, curious to see if it actually makes a difference or not.

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.

No, altho there would be no point. If your interested in shaving with a bare blade a straight razor would be what your want. But back to the question the guards on all safety razors are part of the mold. If you are interested in a safety razor the closest thing to no guard is an adjustable razor.

Definetly get a Shaving Cup. I recently purchased an Edwin Jagger razor and shaving cup for a reasonable price and was very impressed with the craftsmanship and quality. The reason you want a cup is you need very little of this product and it will lather better in a cup as it causes a better friction surface to lather on. I hope that this helps.

I use the RazorPit on the Gillete Pro Fusion Power blades which I think are similar to the Pro glide. It works very well. I haven't needed to change blades since I bought it ( well over a month ) ...and I shave almost every day. You just put a small amount of shaving cream on the Razor Pit and apply light pressure on your razor pushing it forward 4 or 5 times Make sure you store the razor vertically so it dries thoroughly. This device has already more than paid for itself.

Yes, but keep in mind that it's not going to work up into a foam, the way the mass-market shaving creams. It has a consistency similar to toothpaste. I use a little more than the amount of toothpaste you'd put on a toothbrush, spread it into a thin layer across (wet) the chin, and then work it into a slight lather. Leave on for a minute before shaving. It is an excellent product!

Yes, you can.. There is no need for shaving cream or foam with electrical shaving devices.Please note this is for body hair/beard trimming/hair trim only - it is not a electrical razor machine for clean, close shaving (buy Braun for that!).

I use a Philips Norelco 6100, and it can be used with or without shaving cream. I would guess that all of this series of razors allow you to use shaving cream.

I don't use the shaver for that purpose so I don't know. However, I would not be afraid to try it because of how it handles the other areas...especially since the shaver is meant to be used wet with a generous amount of shaving cream.

Good Question. You should have. The set I ordered came with soap and the razor. I would e-mail the seller and cc Amazon and see if the seller will correct the problem. Good Luck!!!!!!

Honestly I don't use the razor they provided... Tried it both ways and just didn't do much. I pulled it off and attached the razor I normally use with tape and it works swimmingly. (Requires water and shaving cream)

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. :)

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

I don't know that you can buy it with a safety razor. Though, I did purchase a nice safety razor to replace the cartridge handle. It fits nice and looks nice as well. To be honest, I also ended up replacing the brush, as the original brush was either poorly glued together, or I was lathering too enthusiastically. Take that information with a grain of salt, as this was my first wet-shave set. I very well may have been doing it wrong.

I haven't used shaving gels or creams with the razor. I think as long as you can thoroughly wash the razor it should be good. Overall I really like the razor.

I am not sure if you can use any shaving lotion with an electric razor. I would check your razor's instructions to see if you can first.
