This razor tugs at my hairs and irritates my face. I never use pre-shave lotion. Would it give me a more comfortable shave from this razor?

I have not used pre shaved lotions, but I do wash my face first with a cleanser (soap) & let my beard dry & it shaves much easier & closer.

Use the electric shaver before you shower. Don't even wash your face until after you shave. If hair gets saturated with water, it gets more elastic and thus harder to cut with an electric razor. Just use a talc stick like FaceSaver to neutralize the oils on your face.If the razor still tugs, there might be other issues like: 1.Are you using too much pressure and thus slowing down the RPM (speed) of the razor. 2.The razor may have become defective due to internal damage from being dropped -- affecting the RPM. (this happened to me). 3.The cutter has lost its sharpness. Unlikely with a new razor, unless it was used to cut something other than hair. Use the electric shaver before you shower.

If the hair is too long --any shaver will tug. Hair needs to be very short for an electric shaver to work properly. You must use the shaver at least every other day. Also, use Face Saver by Remington. It's a talc based product in solid form. I've been using this stuff for 20 years.

This is the pre-shave lotion. I have been using it for over fifteen years. It will give you the best shave you ever had.

If you never used an electric razor off this type, you need to become acclimated. If you have, the best results come if you don't press too hard and you shave after a shower or washing face with warm water before shaving. A pre-shave product also works well for heavy beards.

Not at all. That's the appeal of the body shaver in my eyes. I also don't think it get as clean of a shave as a razor would. Just fyi

Everybody has varying results. I'm average and shave everyday. I would get one shave after that a lot of tugging and pulling making it very uncomfortable. I ended up tossing mine and now use Feather. Get 3-4 comfortable shaves with Feather. But like I stated everyone will vary.

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. Another reason it didn't work for me. Very cumbersome. And uneven shave.

I can't recommend using this shaver in as sensitive place as a bikini line. Plus the cutting blades are a small portion of the head of the razor so I'm not sure you would get the results (I'm guessing) you're looking for. It will give you razor burn if over used.

The shaver doesn't cut my neck when shaving, but I have been using Norelco 3-head shavers for years. I would suggest using less pressure in the neck area, and repeat several times.

It has done wounders for me. I generally shave twice in the day and use my after shave immediately following. This razor is low maintenance and I'm happy with my purchase. I suggests that you use some really good shaving cream, something that really lathers your face to reduce your chances of breaking out.

I am very satisfied with the results of this electric razor, however I do use pre-shave lotion, like Williams Lectric Shave prior to shaving.

Yes, I would say it would be great for sensitive skin. I haven't shaved with a "razor" razor for years and this is a quick and easy shave for me in the morning. No razor burn at all.

Can you tell me how this shaver performs? It is a bit pricey, and there are only two reviews on Amazon's product page, one not even by the user, but by his wife. How does it do getting the hairs on the neck? I often suffer from razor burn on my neck, and also am getting tired of having to rotate my 6 yold Norelco (battery is also dying) in circular patterns several times over the same spots to get a close shave..

I takes a while for your skin to get use to it, try using an after shave cream, after a while your skin won't notice your shaver anymore.

I have never used the pre shave as a post shave. However the Proraso preshave to me feels and works like Noxzima.

No, this is cologne, and is not an after shave lotion. It could actually irritate some if used on a freshly shaven face, and this is because of the amount of fragrant oils in it. After shave lotion has much more alcohol, and will burn at first, but is for that purpose. This cologne, and all colognes, are to make you smell good. I use it behind my ears, on my shoulders, arms, and chest. It has a very pleasant smelling fragrance, and I love it! It's not too strong, and is just right! Hope you enjoy it. I do.
