I'm thinking something that isn't really expensive; something easy to pack for vacation; hopefully something I might have at home?
Thanks!

actually, you can use what you're most likely already packing -- hair conditioner. its smooth, gel-like composition makes it a ready substitute for shaving cream and it does fairly well in a pinch, lol.
another thing you might consider is Oil of Olay's butter-ribbon bodywash. it actually lists right on the bottle that it can be used for shaving as well as washing.
if nothing else, just mix a small amount of your shampoo with bar soap until it makes a soft, creamy foam.
enjoy your trip!

Hey!
Liquid soaps have more glycerin than a soap bar and they are more healing to the skin...I use one with medicinal qualities as well,( for the potential of skin to damage) with regular shavers.
Best to use a Gilette Sensor or something similar, cost is almost the same because these shavers last longer....blades don't dull as quickly....I buy the mens version, because the razors are more quality and work better than disposables IMHO
(The Sensor is my personal favorite) and if you ever form *bumps* it is good to use something with melaluca ( Austrailian tee tree oil) or something similar....I found this new stuff at Trader Joes it is incredible...you might want to try it:
Avalon Organic Botanicals, Bath and Shower Gel, enriched with Vitamin E, panthenol, & Arginine..... i picked the one that smells of Lavender for the added aroma therapy, *stress relief* of a long hard day. Just killer stuff! (hypoallergenic too, and paraben free!) plus they dont hurt bunnies!!!
good luck!

I've found that my hair conditioner is a great substitue for shaving cream. It makes my legs feel silky smooth and it's like a 2-in-1 for you. This way you don't need to pack something extra.

Conditioner. As in, hair. It works great. Just be sure you rinse out your razor really well. Pack a travel sized. Or just use the same kind you do on your hair. Or if your hair conditioner is really $$$ buy the $1.00 Suave ones.

Hair conditioner. You might already have it packed. It helps with a close shave and moisturizes at the same time.

Worse comes to worse, shampoo or plain soap work ok, they're basically just lubricants for the razor to glide over the skin without cutting too much. Just work up a good lather with the shampoo or soap and you should be ok.

I've used soap (just lather it up a lot), or regular lotion. Here's a website with some home-made beauty product recipes...

Lotion, soap, body wash. I shave with baby lotion. It keep your skin nice and smooth. Smooth enough for your boyfriend to kiss up and down your legs and arms. It does feel good when they do it.
