My problem is shaving cream in the no liquids-gels-aerosols world. As far as I know you can't get it in a small enough package to be allowed through security.

I realise that theoretically I could buy an electric razor, though they don't work well on my beard. Alternatively I could just buy a new can of shaving cream every time I travel.

- hugh3 17y agoHmm, perhaps I'll try something like that. Thanks, random internet person! My beard is pretty severe though.
- gaius 17y agoMine is too - I can grow a beard as long as my hand is wide* in about 6 months. The oil is great if you have a good razor (again I recommend King of Shaves - all their stuff is so much better than Gillette rubbish) and shave every day. Male grooming discussion on HN, who'da thunk it :-) *This is the minimum length to join the Taliban, apparently!
- qwzybug 17y agoTry shaving oil. It's fantastic, and a 1.5 oz. bottle is enough for near 100 shaves. Alternatively, a bar of shaving soap and a brush work well. More space than the oil though.
- philwelch 17y agoIf I had a thick beard, I'd just grow it. Since I don't, I don't actually need shaving cream. I gave up on shaving cream around age 17 or so and haven't looked back.
- tomjen3 17y agoGet some old style shaving soap - it is neither a liquid, nor a gel nor an aerosol and it would properly be great for your beard. Of course then you have to get a straight razor through airport security.
- gyardley 17y agoA quick search for 'travel sized shaving cream' online returns a lot of results, and at least in the NYC area I've never had trouble buying it in drugstores.
