Use this wet, otherwise it won't work.

I don't understand these negative reviews. I think it's operator error. This is the best razor I have ever used. When I purchased it, I got it on sale and with a coupon, and I also bought shaving cream to go with it. I used it first on my armpits, where I almost never use shaving cream. I didn't use it this time either. I shaved in the shower, and the olay bars wet like bars of soap. The razor gli...read moreded over my skin, and with only a few strokes, the hair vanished. It was so easy. I was absolutely astonished. So I decided to do my legs without shaving cream either. I had exactly the same experience. The razor glided over my skin, got rid of every hair, and left my legs moisturized. Why isn't this working for other people? Did you guys try to use it dry or something? I really don't get it. I've been reading the others to figure out what it is. Please use this in the shower or bath! Otherwise it won't work! The little Olay moisture strips are literally just Olay beauty bar soap. Now let's think. How does this soap thing work? Do you rub it on your skin dry? No, that doesn't seem to work. What about if I splash some of this water stuff on it? It's a little slimy now. Not sure if it's working... Oh wait. What if I use a bunch of water? Sigh. Of course. After reading a bunch of the reviews, I'm absolutely sure it's operator error. If you're still having trouble, use shaving cream. But really, really, this is best used on very wet skin. Therefore my only qualm is how, like soap, the bars shrink pretty quickly and only have maybe 6 uses in them. After they run out, I'll switch over to shaving cream because Venus blades tend to keep their sharpness for a while.

The best Razor I have ever used before

Pro's: Close shave silky smooth legs the moisture strips on the razor, are so perfect you don't need any shaving gel or cream at all until the strips run out. comfortable grip for holding it steady. It really is a great razor. CONS: Way too expensive and the moisture strips that i am so freaking in love with either don't last or one falls off during use.
