Sure, it's very convenient to have to gel right inside the razor, but it can get expensive to constantly have to buy more of these packs. I use regular shaving gel with my Cool Skin shaver and have never had a problem in the two years I have used it. I still use the packs when traveling, just for the space savings.

The gel seems to go a lot faster than the lotion and does not lubricate the same. The gel is easily disolved in water and its effects are minimal.

:( I have sensitive skin. This lotion has a irritating "cold burning" sensation. Yay menthol. I didn't get a close shave and i didn't want to shave with it because it felt like the razor was dragging across my irritated skin.

I was going to return my shaver until I tried the HQ170.

The HQ170 moisturizing shaving lotion is much more comfortable.

This product combines perfect with my Norelco advantega razor. I have very sensitive skin and this gel makes mine very smooth so when I shave it doesn't irritates my face and to be honest, this has been my all time problem. With the Norelco advantage and this gel, my problems are gone. I trully recommend it.

The only down I found on this product is that it doesn't last to much shaves.

I bought my boyfriend the razor that uses these cartridges for Christmas. However, it's impossible to find the replacements near our home. At times, we've been able to find the lotion replacement cartridges, but he prefers the gel. He feels it is a closer, more comfortable shave. He has a lot of trouble finding good razors that don't irritate his sensitive skin, but he has had no troubles with this at all. The razor's heads pivot very well, and it doesn't miss a spot! I bought him a large supply of these replacements, and I know he's glad to have them.

I prefer the Gel to the lotion - it feels cooler on the skin and without the greasines.

For some reason I don't seem able to find either in a local store. Yay for the internet...

I for one love the gel 171. I've tried both the lotion and gel but cannot get as close a shave with the lotion. Plue the shaver seems to drag on the face much more with the lotion 170. The gel is the way to go.

I would like to buy the gel at the local stores but it is not sold there. The lotion is on all the shelves but no gel. The only way I could get the gel was through on-line delivery. Why is this? Confused on that marketing.

I have used this product for approx. 3 years now as I much prefer it to the lotion. It works better for me as I have a heavy beard and it greatly reduces irritation. I will use this product until I either change razors or they make something better.

Everytime I purchase this product it never fails me when I have to shave. It is a great smelling aroma, and it is smooth on the face.

somehow this is very hard to find in the stores, I ordered it with my prime shipping and am very happy !
