The answer to whether you should use shaving cream with an electric razor depends on the type of electric razor you have. Most electric razors only work on dry skin, and using shaving cream with them can damage the razor or decrease its cutting ability. However, newer models of electric shavers that can work in wet and dry conditions can be used with shaving cream or gel. If you have a wet/dry electric razor, using shaving cream can produce very good results under certain conditions. Here are some tips to keep in mind if you want to use shaving cream with your electric razor:
- Make sure your electric razor is compatible with wet shaving.
- Use only a thin layer of slick, watery lather.
- Massage the cream or gel into your beard, lifting the stubble.
- Shave against the grain.
- Make sure your razors battery is not running low.
- Thoroughly clean and lubricate your shaver after every use.
- Wet shaving with foam or gel uses more energy and can drain your shavers battery faster.
Its important to note that if you have sensitive skin, using shaving cream or gel can be beneficial as it reduces friction and irritation caused by a blade. If you have a Philips shaver, you can use any type of shaving foam or gel available in the supermarket or drugstore with your wet and dry shaver.
