Tell me what I'm doing wrong before I give it one star. No lather, ended up nearly "dry" on my face, hard to rinse from DE razor...

use more water depends on your brush and bowl also i am new to this but have no problem getting a good lather. just work with diffrent amounts of water also use the pre shave balm that proraso sells they are really good together

This stuff definitely absolutely lathers up nicely. I've used half a dozen tubes of it, all are the same. Lathering takes a bit of experience to get the right amount of water or something. Keep at it! It works well!

Sounds like you need to add more water while whipping your lather up. I start with a good bowl, an almond size dollop of Proraso, and a little water and start whipping with a good brush. The bubbles in the foam start off really large, like you have added too much water, but as you whip, maybe around 60 seconds, it comes together into a nice lather. If it is thick and gunks up your razor, or dries out on your face, add more water.

Probably didn't use enough. I put it on my wet brush like toothpaste .I apply to my wet face, It lathers up fine for me . Don't be stingy with it put some on and work it in . if the foam is to loose use a little more. Its not as heavy as the cream from the can , but It works fine for me

Are you using a brush and a bit of water? This isn't like shave cream from a can, it needs to be "worked" into a lather. There are plenty of brushes available on Amazon for 10-20$. Worth it.

Add some water to the brush, add a finger tip of cream to the brush and massage into face in a circular pattern. Should get a nice lather then.

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

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.

I used an exfoliating scrub, but this product is way to rough for the skin. I would not recommend it.

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 have a similar problem. The razor seems to charge, but the base does not recognize it, so I can't run the cleaning cycle. It worked fine for a long time (I don't remember exactly how long), but now the problem is consistent. Taking it out and putting it back in, or trying to push it against the contacts does not help.

I get the product on the brush and then build lather on the face. I tried using a coffee mug like Iv'e seen other people do, but face lather worked better for me. Everyone has different skin though so try both? Everyone has a coffee cup I believe.

Was your face washed clean prior to use? Sometimes I leave on a bit (2 min) longer but when it starts to tingle ... Rinse. Also... Shake prior to use!

Two key issues here, Bill; I lather up and leave it set on my scalp while I shave / shower - 5 minutes. THEN, cool water rinse and gently comb it at the same time during rinse. You should be "good to go" within one bottle. Powerful stuff. This is not medical advice. I'm just telling you what happened in my case. Best to YOU.

Hello... I have used this particular product by Lab Series for over 1.5 years now and believe it to be one of the best (if not the best) pre-electric shave solutions out there. Actually it's the 'only one' I'll use after experimenting with quite a few others. It does contain alcohol and I have heard that over time, alcohol will dry your skin out? After shaving I generally prefer to wash it off with a nice hot face cloth; then apply Neutrogena MEN RAZOR DEFENSE Post Shave Lotion (black tube). This is a moisturizing lotion I like very much. Has a slight clean smelling fragrance that will dissipate after 2-3 hrs. Have had no skin related issues at all with this product. Hello...

This product is not the serum, it's the toner that you're supposed to use first. I used two bottles of each product (toner and serum) with no noticeable results. Buy something better!

Waste of money, not as smooth as a razor. I wished I would have sent it back.

hasn't for me and it shouldn't since it has no sulfates or any of those harsh ingredients

My shaver does not hold a charge. It does not shave the hair. This shaver has never worked from day one. Save yourself the aggravation of trying to fix it and go with a different brand or try the little pink plastic disposable razors. They tend to be more reliable.

I have the exact same problem. I was wondering if I should buy a replacement head but seeing as everyone else has this problem, I guess I need a completely different shaver for body grooming. Shame on you Norelco. 1 star.

I dislike this soap for everything. To me it smells nasty When I did use it, my skin felt good at first and then started getting more and more dry. I don't know what's in it. That's the scary part.

This did not work on mine at all. Razor or hair creams. I've done lazier treatments twice with no luck also.
