Title: How to apply HeadSlick lotion?
Post by: YohaiM on November 07, 2010, 07:37:40 AM: Have received the lotion today via international mail,and don't know how to apply it.
Should I use a shaving brush,or do I only need to wet my face and head and rub it in circular motion?
Thanks,
Yohai.

Anyhow, don't use too much of it, just a small amount.

You're right.
Tried doing it with my hands-got a very very thin layer.
Used a brush-got great lather.
Thanks for the advice,
Yohai.

It's not necessary to have a thick lather, the blade only needs a small layer of lubrication ,all the extra foam does nothing but look good. But if it makes you happy , all well and good.
