Is it good to shave without gels?

I personally use shave cream (C. O. Bigalow form Bath and Body Works) applied with a shaving brush, and I get a great shave every time. I have not tried the gels, but I think that any shave cream or gel would work just fine. By the way, I am now into my third week (19 days and counting) and I am still using my origanal Progilde blade. I never got more than 7 days from my Atra Plus blades. Hope that this helps.

I prefer gels and feel like I get a closer shave, but I have also shaved with other types and still feel like I get a close shave due to the quality of the razor. And I prefer the Gillette Fusion Proglide due to the number of blades and the power and smoothness of the shave. This coming from someone with a tough beard.

Good luck with that, I cannot speak from experiance on that. I suggest you go to Walmart, fork out $5.00, and give it a try. Again, Good Luck.

Hi Bilal, I believe you can use the Gillette shaving gel. I also think that the type of gel does not matter that much as they all foam when applied to the face. Where there may be a difference is perhaps in how much cleaning they require afterwards. But in my experience, a quick rinse will do the trick. Thank You for your question. Nenad

Not really a shaver . It is used to trim my beard so no cream or soap is needed

There's no good reason to do that, in my opinion. This product is awesome on its own. If you really want a pre-shave to put under your shaving soap, go with one of the brands of shaving oil.

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

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.

No. I personally wouldn't. You are interacting two different chemicals and you don't know what the reaction may be. Nair is painless, you don't need numbing cream.

No shaving cream & it CANNOT get wet. Lectric Shave works well on sensitive skin with cheaper electric razors.

No lotion needed. That would gum it up and it would'nt work.Only cuts stubble if longer than1/8 it wont cut.I use this shaver everyday to finish my hair cuts and beards. I hope this helps

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 used a gel. The pads are very sticky and I am happy with them sans the gel.

It is very moisturizing which may help to get a close shave without causing ingrown hairs or acne. It is probably dependent on one's sensitivity to its ingredients. It does seem to limit irritation from shaving by softening skin.

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 would say no because this model isn't "wet&dry;". Wet&dry; means you can use the shaver with gel or foam cream

Not shaving gel. Wax. Specifically the variations of gigi wax. And yes it warms the wax making it spreadable.

You must remove the guide, easy to do and easy to replace. But using just the cutter edge without the guide does not give as good a shave as a regular electric razor or a blade razor. From a distance it will look OK, but if you rub your hand over the skin, you'll feel the prickly hairs. Not as soft as a baby's bottom.

From what I know, there are a few different oils in the mix. But, the main one is eucalyptus oil. All I can say is it works and I now don't need shaving gel or cream, and no more razor burns or cuts. The trick is to keep your face wet for the oil to work its magic.
