Lindsay explains that when using shaving cream, it’s generally best to lather the cream in your hands first (especially if it’s a foaming gel) and then apply it to wet skin, covering the area you want to shave. You’ll want a thick layer you can’t see through but not so thick that you won’t be able to pull a razor through it.  You might want to do this out of the shower (or water spray), so you don’t lose all your product down the drain, as well.
