Has anyone tried applying lotion/gel to the foil of the razor before shaving?

there have been times when I have used it after shaving but it will sometimes sting a little bit. even waiting till Opposite end of the day that you shaved is helpful.

NO. You cannot have shaving cream, soap, or lotion of any kind on your legs while using the epilator. Your legs have to be dry. You can use shaving cream or a scrub in the shower a few days before just to relax your pores, and I would recommend using some kind of aloe afterwards. But you can't have any kind of moist product, not even water, on your legs while using the device.

I used it for the first time last night. I leaves a little stubble, but is far faster and safer than the devices I have used in the past. Plus, leaving a little stubble means it will itch less later. I like it, so far. And, the website is the coolest thing ever (www.shaveeverywhere.com)

No. Another reason it didn't work for me. Very cumbersome. And uneven shave.

None. Just a hot towel. You do not want to use this shaver on a wet or over moisturized face, it will gum up the blades. Use on a dry face. I personally follow my face up with Andis Cool Care Bump Stop Aftershave, let dry and apply Nivea Extra Moisturizing Aftershave Lotion. I use individualized products for my clients. Hope this helps!

Honestly I don't use the razor they provided... Tried it both ways and just didn't do much. I pulled it off and attached the razor I normally use with tape and it works swimmingly. (Requires water and shaving cream)

I don't use the shaver for that purpose so I don't know. However, I would not be afraid to try it because of how it handles the other areas...especially since the shaver is meant to be used wet with a generous amount of shaving cream.

No, just let it glide over your whiskers, assuming of course you insert a sharp blade in the razor before you start to shave

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

I do not use a gel. I use CVS Electric Pre-Shave, similar to Williams Lectric Shave but doesn't have a strong perfume.

No I don't think it works well that way. You should be able to get pretty close shaves using it directly on your skin

According to the literature that came with my razor, one may use shaving cream or not, whichever you prefer.&#9786;

I haven't had any issue with this. However, being a relatively inexpensive mobile shaver. I do not use this shaver with a thick week growth beard. I used it if I have a little stubble and want to touch it up and smooth my face. I believe the foil on this is very thin being a travel type shaver and it is possible that like others have suggested perhaps your beard is too long or maybe you have a defective unit. It seems to work fairly well for my touch up needs.

I happen to use foam shave cream so I am not sure is gel will work as well. You can but a can of foam shave cream for a dollar though and blades do cost much more. Have a great day!!

You can use foam but you should wet the razor so the gel becomes more foamy...you need the " slip and slide" effect. Make sure to push in the opposite direction which for me was up the slide.

Possibly. I didn't use it that way. The cream is water-based, so I don't know whether it would serve the purpose of say, an oil pre-shave when it comes into contact with shaving soap. You'd have a bit of a chemical stew, so I wouldn't venture a guess as to how your skin would respond. Oil-based preshaves are pretty simple. This cream isn't.
