Yes, I believe the Gel lasts longer than the foam. I used gel shaving cream for about two years and I would only have to get new ones about twice a year. About seven months ago I switched to foam and have bought two so far. I have not increase my number of times I shave either so my estimate is pretty accurate.

No I don't think that I waste more with the gel. Such a small amount can turn into a large amount of cream when applied, I can see why it might be a waste for some people but I always used very small amounts so it wouldn't get wasted. foam however is really easy to waste because you push the button and it comes out very fast that you may end up with way too much and have to wash it off so you are able to shave.

I think the last question is going to depend on the brand of foam shaving cream you use. The one I have (I don't know the name but it's a cheap Walmart brand) has such a large button to push that usually I use the hard part of the palm of my hand or my thumb. Other foam sprays you may need to have a trigger finger, it will just depend on the brand. I think most people will have a trigger finger for the simple reason that you have to shake the foam cans before you spray it. For me it's an automatic thing to put your index finger on the button or trigger while you shake it.
