Using electric shavers with shaving foam/gel

So, some of these new shavers allow wet and dry shaving. I currently have a Braun 390cc but am considering an upgrade to the 790cc. Might ask Santa for one Laughing To be fair, I think the 390cc is also waterproof but I like the look of the 790cc.

Has anyone used an electric shaver with shaving foam/gel and noticed any difference to using it dry? Anyone own a series 7 shaver? LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Hi doctor, I've got a Phillips (sorry can't remember which model and not at home at present) and use it with shaving gel two or three times a week.

I find this gives closer shave whilst also stopping my skin from drying so much.

One day Badger was strolling along with his friend Ratty, they had set out to go to Toad Hall but had taken the wrong path through the chicken farm.

Despite being anthramorphised characters , wearing replica Edwardian clothing and speaking English they could not actually read, and gaily wandered past the jolly sign with the deaths head logo that said " Danger , Culling Trial , One Mile Safety Zone" ,
On they strolled Just thinking the bright red lettering on a Fluo yellow background was really rather pretty.

They had no knowledge of the real world and the nasty ways of farmers They had never heard the term " Bolt Action 223 Remington" and would not have know what a 150 grain Jacketed Hollow Point was if you asked them all day.

They did hear the soft click as the action was cycled and wondered if the nice lady at the farm was unlatching the door to invite them in for a cup of tea ,m and Badger did see the last light of the Sun's rays glint off the lens off the 6x Schmidt und Bender 200 metres away in the hedgerow , both unaware that the nasty chicken farmer had the cross hair centred on Badger's furry little forehead . At 2400 fps Badger was quarter of a second away from being elevated from children's fiction to DEFRA scapegoat, George took in a deep breath put first pressure on the two stage trigger, and even before the bullet was on the way was thinking about getting his terriers out to finish the rat off Rolling with laughter 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

never murdered a badger in my life,, quite like them, there are plenty about.

but I have great sympathy with livestock farmers who get whole herds culled because of fail TB tests, watching animals often looked upon as pets lead away for slaughter.

we cant be having a return of Tb its a nasty disease. At work

Braun Waterflex used wet

This morning I tried my Braun (see third post) wet for the first time. Using Nivea gel, I found the shaver glided over the skin very easily. Shave was good or better (than used dry) on the upper lip and below the sideburns. Not so good under the chin and neck areas. Shaver needed a good rinse afterwards too!

On balance, I will stick to dry shaving - less fuss!

NB: I do find it is best to shave before wash or shower - less drag on the skin.

Hi Have a Panasonic wet/dry thing. I have tried using it wet but unlike a razor, the electric shaver doesn't scrape the gel/foam away as you shave. So it's really hard to see if I've missed bits. I usually wash my face first which softens up the hairs, dry off and just use the shaver dry.
