The weekend after Labor Day, I will be taking a 4 or 5 day vacation. I will be sharing a 2 bedroom seaside apartment with 5, yes count them 5 ladies: My fiancee and her 2 daughters, 1 of whom has a daughter, and my future mother in law. Already having experience with that many women in one house, I know my bathroom time will be quite limited. I'm thinking that I will leave my straight at home, and just bring my cartridge razor, knowing full well that after I'm in there a few minutes, one, two, or all of them will start banging on the door! I am going to just bring my CO Bigelow tube shave cream, and forgo the uberlather for the interests of time and domestic tranquility. I hear the Bigelow is good by itself, my question is, do I need my brush to apply it, or can I rub it in with my fingers?
