Product Information
Full details
Gatsby Pre-Shave Lotion is designed for men who use electric shavers and want to achieve a closer, smoother result without the typical skin irritation associated with dry shaving. The primary benefit of this lotion is its specialized micro-particle powder formula that facilitates razor glide while lifting hairs for a clean, root-level cut, though users must allow the product to dry completely on the skin before beginning their shave to ensure optimal performance.

FAQs
Can I use this with a standard manual razor?
No, this product is specifically formulated to assist electric shavers and will not provide the correct lubrication for a manual wet-shave razor.
How much should I apply per shave?
A small coin-sized amount is generally sufficient to cover the typical beard area.
Does it contain alcohol that will dry out my skin?
Gatsby Pre-Shave Lotion is formulated with natural plant ingredients specifically intended to prevent post-shave dryness.
Will this clog my electric shaver?
When used in the recommended thin layer, it should not clog your shaver. Always clean your shaver heads regularly to ensure optimal hygiene.
Is the scent very strong?
It features a light, refreshing citrus fragrance designed to be pleasant without being overwhelming.
Troubleshooting
The lotion feels clumpy or does not spread evenly
Shake the container vigorously for 10-15 seconds before application to ensure the powder is fully integrated into the liquid.
Razor is still tugging at the hair
Ensure you have waited long enough for the lotion to dry completely; if applied while too wet, the powder cannot effectively lift the hair.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using Gatsby Pre-Shave Lotion is straightforward and requires no complex setup. Before each use, ensure you shake the 140ml container well; this is crucial as it loosens the micro-particle powder that settles at the bottom of the bottle.
Compatibility: This product is exclusively formulated for use with electric shavers. It is not intended for use with manual safety razors or multi-blade cartridges, as those systems rely on water-based lubrication.
Care: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the moisturizing ingredients. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent the liquid formula from evaporating or thickening.
