I use gilette gel, "sensitive" or whatever, its blue at least.

I "lather up" by using the gel between my hands creating a type of thick foam, rub it into my face and then just wet the razor if I feel its not slick enough. About half way in I put all the foamed gel thats still on my hands onto my face and do another set of passes (I'd guesstimate the amount of gel on my hands to be about 10% of what i initally put on my face). But usually I just put some water or the razor unless I'm shaving off 1 weeks worth of beard. Or at the very most more water on my face to make the remaining gel slick again.
