Are You Using Shaving Gel Wrong Without Realizing It?
2025-08-05
Having trained hundreds of barbers, I've seen even experienced shavers make critical mistakes with their shaving gel application. Let's fix your technique.
What's the Proper Way to Apply Shaving Gel
Most men make these application errors:
-
Using too little product
-
Applying to dry skin
-
Rushing the lather development
Wilson's recommended method:
-
Wet face with warm water
-
Use almond-sized amount
-
Massage for 30 seconds
-
Wait 1 minute before shaving
Which Skin Types Need Specialized Shaving Gels
Not all gels work for all skin conditions:
| Skin Type | Common Issues | Wilson Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitive | Redness | Soothing oat extract |
| Oily | Clogged pores | Oil-control complex |
| Dry | Flaking | Hyaluronic acid boost |
| Combination | Uneven texture | pH-balancing formula |
How Can You Make Shaving Gel Last Longer
These professional tips extend your product life:
-
Store in cool, dry place
-
Keep tube upright
-
Don't mix with water in container
-
Use warm (not hot) water to lather
My personal Wilson tube lasts 30% longer than previous brands thanks to its concentrated formula. That's nearly two extra months of shaves.
