Can you just manually clean it and lubricate without having to buy refills?

Yes you can. The hand held unit can detached. Simply rinse under running water. If you manually clean it regularly then you'll need apply a drop of light machine oil once a week. Hope that answers your question.

Never considered that option. I am a new owner and the original bucket of cleaning fluid is still pretty fresh. I just punch the button after each shave.

Sure, just follow the instructions. Fine for when traveling. The cleaner lasts a long time if that's a concern, and not expensive.

I don't know. I have not had it for very long. I have a refill, but have not had to use it yet. I am still satisfied with the Braun.

That is what i have been doing. I put it on the auto clean about once a week.In between I just brush it out.

Yes, you can manually clean it and lubricate it yourself. However, the refills last for a couple of months and they are not that expensive. It is worth buying the refills just for the convenience of the self-cleaning and disinfecting cycle. This is an excellent shaver; it would behoove you to follow the manufacturer's suggestions. This could be of some benefit if you should ever deem it necessary to use your warranty.

There are 1/2 or so manufacturer's who make fluids for record cleaning machines. All are similar. Roy Hall is sending us a formula if you want to make your own. Plain tap water is not recommended. Dick Moulding Spearit Sound

Negative, well at least i don't. Lubricant is part of the "7 in one" feature. I did use this product first on a brand new clipper set but after that first dip i only dip to clean after each use. Hope this helps.

Yes, you do need to use a lubricant. I used Griot's Speed Shine liberally and it worked great.

NO. At least the one I bought from SpeedPuzzles wasn't lubed. It was also a little dusty but in otherwise perfect condition.

Very easy. I use a dampened cloth with a bit of dish detergent. Then again with a dampened cloth of clean water. It can be wiped dry or add required amount of water and essential oils.

I generally don't use any. I have not taken it apart but it seems this pump is all polymer, so I don't think it need lubricant. I have pumped gasoline and diesel, which are both easy chemicals for this pump. I have also pumped alcohols, which are also easy. The most aggressive solvent I have pumped is ethyl formate, and the pump seemed to handle this well also. Other pumps that were for gasoline did not work for ethyl formate.

My machine is used daily. Do not have this problem. Very little cooking oil is used to lubricate, one drop or less.

That is correct Mike. This is a cleaner and lube in one. It won't leave excess residue either. Works great.

Yes, it can be refilled but I wouldn't recommend it. I've done it and I'm wasn't happy with the refill. I buy new cartridges now....

Hello Ours comes with a funnel, a glove kit to keep your hands clean, and an as-static cloth for clean up before you insert the refilled cartridge!

if this is like the 1 liter one I have, there should be a little insignia of an oil can right in front of the trigger on the top right before the brass rod that goes down into the cup. From what I have gathered, it is not oil that is needed but every now and then add a little petroleum jelly or other water NON-soluable grease just to keep the o-ring pliable...if it dries out, pump won't work...go to Solo site, this explanation should be there

I have not had an issue with it while not using the lubrication. Personally, I don't think it needs it. I had an older one that worked fine without that as well. Hope this helps! :)

I haven't needed refills yet so I'm not sure. Have you tried typing it in the search menu?

Please use water-based lubricants only. You will want to clean the item with antibacterial soap & warm water solution. Please be sure to rinse all soapy residue off of the item and allow to air dry completely.
