• A:Answer I use mine in the shower, Don't think I'd let it soak in standing water. I do open the cartridge and "pop" off the rotating blade head to clean in the sink though.

Q: QuestionIs this razor good for very sensitive skin?

Asked 1 year ago by George.

• A:Answer It can be if used properly. If shaving dry, the slower you go, the easier it is on the skin. Don't be in a hurry, as moving the shaver fast over the skin will leave stubbles and irritation. If you don't mind the little extra effort to lather up, then "wet" is even better!
