I'd say cream because of what everybody said also if it's just 3 weeks you can just take a smaller container with some of it in and don't have to carry the whole tub around

I'm going to say Tabac or MNS stick. Easy to carry and lather, good moisturizing for the cold weather.
I'd use either a cream or a very good moisturising soap.
I'm a cold water shaver, both soaps and creams. you shouldn't have a problem.
But, I do agree with the previous post by earcutter get a safety razor it will work better than a multiblade nightmare. And Almond or Sandalwood are a good choice for cold water shaving.
Cella "hard" soap would be a good choice.
If you do go with a soap, Mitchell's Wool Fat would also be a good candidate. Nice clean scent that doesn't linger and the lanolin does really well with leaving skin moisturized compared to typical soaps. (One note of caution: it can be a bit difficult to lather in very hard water.)
More importantly though, you may want to stay away from alcohol-based post-shave splashes or balms. Alcohol's solvent properties and fast evaporation rate make it major player in dry skin. Usually the addition of glycerine and other skin moisturizing additives counter its drying effect. But really cold, dry air it'd probably be best to avoid it altogether.
I once saw a replicated german wwII shaving kit for the filed. It consisted of a boar brush in an aluminum travel tube, shaving soap stick and safety razor(cartridge in your case) all ina small leather snap pouch. Good to go troop !
P,S. A cold water shave if done right can be quite nice actually.
Ive been hearing that a cold water shave is good. Why?
