This a wer/dry shaver. I have even used it in the shower--no issues at all. Have had it for over 2 years now.

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

It's a pretty good shaver . . . noisey and a hell-ov-a-job to replace the heads. Waterproof, I really don't know, rather doubt it. I don't shave wet.

I only wet shave with mine in the shower and I use a bar soap like Irish Spring. Works great.

I just use it not getting it wet or anything . I think water might rust the blades

Yes, Just remove the heads from the shaver and rinse off and pat dry before putting it back together.

This shaver is not water proof; do not use with shaving cream or wet shaving products. Rick Fowler

I'm very pleased with the Axe shaver. Held a charge for the week I was out of town and still going strong away from the charger. Not a wet/dry shaver. Only dry.

Hello, Sorry, this model is not waterproof. Only the blades can be removed and washed under water. No shaving in the shower for this model!

I primarily use it when my skin is dry, but have also used it on hot humid days when it is impossible to have 'dry' skin after a shower. There is more pulling on the skin, but the resulting shave is acceptable.

Panasonic ES8109S Vortex Wet/Dry Shaver with Nano Technology and HydraClean System I feel the same way. However the Panasonic just started to fail to pump fluid to the shaver head. Plenty of water and recently changed cartridge. Sent to repair center. Will inform when I get it back.

Would you believe I am 67 and have never shaved with an actual razor? It is true. So I don't have stiff stubble. It works great so far. I do not use it wet, only dry ....about every two weeks.

I have found that if my razor blade is new it doesn't make much difference. I have experienced a little pull with both damp and dry hair. Damp hair seems to provide a somewhat better cut, so I have am real careful with the setting so I don't cut more than I want. Mostly it is just trial and error a little at a time.

Yes, it's hard to flip sides when your hand is wet. The short handle makes it worse. Still the shave is worth it.

Yes you can dry shave and you can edge it but you won't get the crisp line you're looking for.

I have also had a Panasonic wet/dry shaver very similar to this for about 15yrs (use it once a wk on face and twice a month on head) and I'm finally looking to replace it with another Panasonic for sure. (Posted this in support of the quality/longevity)

Have had mine for almost a year so far and no problems other than the fact that the shaver only gives about 5 good shaves before it needs recharging...and yes, I follow proper charging instructions. Other than that, it's great both wet and dry.
