Maybe you've noticed nearly all shaving cream metal containers quickly rust on the bottom rim resulting in rust stains migrating onto any surface upon which the container is set. Is there a simple way to resolve this problem or make the manufacturer liable for stain damage caused . One way would be for the manufacturer to design the plastic top cover to have a secondary use as an optional click on cover that fits on the base and thereby prevents the rust from occuring on the bottom rim and if it doesn't the cover will prevent migration of the rust onto the vanity top surface. Maybe you have ideas on this,,,hope so. Thanks

Dry the can when done, and keep it in a dry place, away from water. Works for me.

Save old plastic lids from potato chip cans or cottage cheese containters etc.and set the can with metal bottom on them. Empty old shower/bath water that accumulated in the lid after each bath. Can will still rust, but bath will stay clean. Or get a shower caddy to hang up and keep rusty stuff there only. Good luck getting your family to cooperate.

If you are super lazy and don't take the time to dry the can...you can use clear finger nail polish to coat the bottem edges of the can [do this when the can is dry obviously]. And just let the nail polish dry completely before you set it back down [you can let the can rest upside down in the sink, etc while it dries]. FYI, the clear, cheap nail polish from Wal-mart works just fine and one little bottle while last you quite some time.

Give fat momma the 10 points because that's what I was gonna say and it's the simplest solution. Plastic lids from yogurt containers, instant coffee jars, peanut butter jars and the like are all a good fit under your rusty cans. Works a treat.

You can put a layer of silicone caulk on the bottom or set the can in a platic margarine top, etc.

Put a small coat of vaseline on the bottom of the can.
