Can you use this prior to nairing your privates? :o)

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.

Safe, yes. Do you want to? Probably not! I wax this area and that's nothing compared to this thing. Waxing the bikini area is like throwing a party compared to this thing!

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.

It works pretty good on light areas, so-so on heavy areas. I use hair conditioner on my legs prior to using a razor, no razor burn.

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.

I agree on the gentler solution. This is more for detail work in my opinion, gives a nice close shave. Not sure that it's a good choice for what you want to do.

Yes I have been using both. No problem. Just blow out the razor before you clean it to prolong the use.

No, in "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" it is written: "Do not use while bathing or in a shower". They even recommend to shave face before you wash it.l You only wash shaver's head in a running water.

Yes you can, it's meant for close shave like on your face, but if you try your legs it's harder to use on, unless your hair is very fine and thin. Also I've had problems making it last long, when the batteries go out, it's hard to change to new ones.

I use it before cutting hair, then apply oil afterward. I'm not a professional barber, though, so I don't know how they might answer.

I do it BEFORE every shave. It seems to work pretty good but it is still one more step that takes about a minute and a half a day. I think it's worth the money especially if you are on a budget and need to count dollars, but I don't. The jury is still out for me.....

You can but you still need to be careful and take your time around sensitive areas. I would recommend doing those areas first while the clippers are still cool to touch, once they get hot and you use them without a guard they will cause skin irritations.

I tried it on my leg and it hurt like hell (using the epilator head). I think that bikini area might hurt even more, I have used it with the regular razor headpiece and it worked like a regular electric shaver, I would not recommend the epilator....unless you have a high pain threshold (apparently I do not in this case).

It's not the greatest at getting close to the root for the bikini area (however it does get better there after using it a while because the hair gets used to it). However, it has never cut me in any way. It has never given me razor burn either. I love it!

NO, NO, NO. No water or shaving cream with this razor. You would ruin the razor.

hi Jamie, you can use this before and after. Its a great moisturizer for your skin

No, but you can shave. Waxing would be counter productive, as it lightens the hair. The darker hair at tracks the later and is removed better. Lighter hair does not respond well.
