When I recently converted to DE shaving, I had the same situation and did exactly that, depleted my gel can inventory by shaving every day, which was also good practice. The gels worked fine for my face but I have no experience with head shaving. It was certainly easier and cleaner than using soaps and cremes, but they do give a better shave I believe. And some pre-shave oil may help too as I have to do that on my sensitive areas like between the lips and chin.Oh I'd also like to ask if it would be OK to use shaving gel for a while, because I bought 2 cans like 3 days ago -.-"
