Gear Talk / Re: Shaving Creme
« on: March 19, 2013, 06:29:21 pm »You have to shave? On my first tour, I sent my plastic disposable razor home because it wasn't worth the 16 grams. On subsequent tours, I stop shaving a few weeks before the tour starts.
Well its a habit that has developed beginning in 1956 with the 82nd. Then another decade or two with IBM just cemented the habit in. But I understand some of you younger ones might be able to tough it out and not shave. Then there are others that can shave dry skin and use bits of wetness and feel you have a comfortable shave. Good. I'm glad you can do that.
But for those like me that are perhaps more tender then you mountain men what I said was I found an alternative to a shaving creme that most carry on tour. The post wasn't a suggestion or proposition that it was better than any other substitute or alternative to shaving. Simply if you carry shaving creme think about using sunscreen.
