How much Headslick?

I just bought some Headslick, but it doesn't say how much to use. I'm assuming (I know that's never a wise thing to do), a small amount, since the bottle claims it has over 100 shaves in this bottle. Are we talking a dime size?

It doesn't take much to do the head and face.

I use an amount about the size of a pea ... which is plenty. If it seems inadequate add a few drops of water. If it "dries" before you finish shaving, sprinkle on a few drops of water and lather it around a bit.

use it..by feel. Don't apply too much, nor too less.

Try about a nickle size.

I would agree with about the size of a large pea. I have found if you go with too much it slows down the Headblade. You will get used to the right amount. It does last for about 100 shaves though I agree.

I'll put in another plug here for "the pump" which is available from HeadBlade.com (75 cents) - one pump provides the perfect allotment (for me) for shaving.

That's my motto. Generally, two garden peas' worth seems enough. Though I generally re-apply the same amount again, when going for a second pass over the head against the grain.
HeadSlick tends to try out on the head. So add a few dabs of water and re-massage as you shave your head.

If you use too little, your going to pull at the hair increasing the risk of razor bump burn etc. the razor won't glide as well.

Lather is key. I used to use too much but once I started using say a nickel amount and adding water as I go for lather def went a long way.

I'm still experimenting with the amount, but I do like the shave with Headslick vs the old shave gel I was using.

I used a couple of good sized drops until I got the pump. For .75 cents I recommend the pump. With it I use 2 pumps. Its whatever works for you
