Can you use any shave cream you want in it, or is it a certain brand or type?

It works with either gel or traditional Barbasol style foaming lather. I have read that Aveeno gel does not work well with it. I use sensitive skin Barbasol and it works like a charm. It's very nice to put hot lather on. My GF even uses it for her legs.

I would not recommend this product. It stopped working after a second season. It was messy installing a can of shaving cream each time.

I have used multiple brands, both foam and gel, all work well...love it...have had one for two years no problem so got a second one for my summer home, really miss it when traveling

I have never tried the cream. When I inquired a similar question to the manufacturer their reply: "it is just preference." If you use one, you don't use the other.

My husband uses this with a DE razor and he likes it much better than regular foam shaving cream. He's never tried any other shaving soap brand, though.

You tube is a great resource for DE razor shaving. Personna, feather and crystal are my favorite blades. Best shaving cream is a Homemade kind with all organic shea butter ,coconut oil, organic oils and essential oils.Favorite razor in the microtouch and merkur34C.

any double edge blade will work,but dont buy cheapos, they only last 1 or 2 shaves,buy platinum for 10 plus shaves per blade

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.

Yes you can, but it does not perform well as a shaver no matter what you do or do not use.

All right, thanks Toby. The fact you also indirectly recommended Williams electric shave lotion also tells me you probably don't work for Braun so you're impartial. It's a fortune for an electric razor, but I think I'll go for it..

Absolutely not if you use quality blades. I use the Merkur (10 pack) blades and get a super smooth shave. You should avoid gooey shave gels for the best results. I recommend a good quality shaving soap. I also shave in the shower so my beard gets a bit softer with the warm water.

I don't know- but I would not recommend it. There are special lotions out there for electric shavers, so you might want to look into that. I have always used a razor- I tried an electric shaver once and it's not for me.

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!).

You probably could. There are multiple heads that come with the shaver. I personally have not used it on my face, so I dont know how well it works.

And you can buy the Deluxe Shave Soap individually at Walgreens, Rite-Aid, or CVS. It is a bit sporadic between one chain to the next. Or you can go to the Van Der hagen website to order any of their Shave Soaps and other products they make (Yes I have been to their Website). Or order off of Amazon (Amazon seems to have the Bulk of the Van Der Hagen line of products). I hope this answers your question. I If you have any other questions I would be glad to answer if I know the answer.

I am not sure. But, I don't know why they couldn't. If women can use plain old shaving cream in a can, I think they should be able to use this product. I love it. But, I am a man. It lasts several months for me. So, $9 a container is not bad when you consider how long it lasts.

I like Neutrogena Men Skin Clearing Shave Cream. It works great with any razor I have used and I get more shaves out of blade with this product. It also keeps my skin nice after a shave, it feels a little like it has after shave built in. Only takes a dime sized squeeze. Works best for me after a shower. The similar burt's bee is also good. Can be found at big box places to.They have it on Amazon, linkNeutrogena Men Skin Clearing Shave Cream, 5.1 Ounce (Pack of 2)

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