Math Question for Men (or women?)

If a person is booked on a 30 day cruise with 3 pre and 3 post trips AND if a person shaves two times a day ---

how many 7 ounce facial shaving cans :confused: should I pack for the entire trip? (Please do not suggest an electric razor!)

1, because if you run out you can always but more.

[SilvertoGold]

And I thought I had problems figuring out toothpaste!

 

Best of luck and enjoy your fabulous trip!

Is that 3 days pre and post, or 3 trips? If the latter, it depends on the length of the trips.

 

I shave twice a day and a can of Edge easily lasts a month and a half.

I agree with RDC. Plus, hair conditioner works if you run out.

Where are you sailing from?

 

If it's from a port that sells shaving cream, don't pack it.

 

Buy it in your precruise port ;). It can cause issues in luggage no matter how well you protect it.

 

One can did DH for 42 days along with a toiletry size that went in the ziploc bag. I just pack the trial size and we buy when we get there. ;)

OP

I see that you will be on the 14 day Volendam cruise on April 11 -- correct?

If so -- 14 plus 3 pre cruise days and 3 post cruise days adds up only to 20 days. Thus you will only need 1 can for 2 shavings a day.

Sounds like a trick question. How long does it take you to use up a 7 ounce can at home? It's no different than on a ship. Longer than 36 days = one can. If you use up a can faster than 36 days = two cans. What do I win?

Or you could bring a shave bar instead, and not worry about disposing of the can(s). As another poster mentioned, you can always use the hair conditioner provided by the ship - it results in a nice shave and leaves your skin smooth and soft.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

My thoughts exactly. Time it out at home and see how long it lasts!!!

Try the CREMO in the tube. My fiancé uses and it seems to last forever. Way longer then cans of shave creme.

Why not grow a beard and save the expense of shaving ?

I do use hair conditioner in a pinch if I have run out of shaving cream but I do not consider it as good as my usual shaving cream. I will also not change to a bar or powder or whatever on a trip - I'd rather pack more of my favorite product.

I have tried that and it's OK (better than hair conditioner), but I still prefer my Edge (or similar foams).

 

As for how much the OP would need? The next time you start a new container, mark it with the date and see how many days it lasts. (Only works if you are not sailing soon!)

 

I shave both head and face, so my rate of use would not be helpful to the OP.

Honestly, if you can't figure this out yourself, maybe you should just stay home:)

I like this suggestion.

You started out my day with a dilemma!

 

I didn't know whether to LMAO or reply "Harsh!".

Correct answer is "27 miles per hour."

But only on days that end in "y".

Yeah, but what's the train driver's name?

I'd go with "Sheeesh".

[puppycanducruise]

The answer is 42!

[jonyboy]

So many variables it is not possible to answer with either a yes or a no

[SilvertoGold]

Whipped cream should work. Raid the kitchen, get a tub, put on ice and try not to eat it all.

 

Disclaimer: this is not my idea. I am just reporting what DH said.

 

I hope the OP finds a happy medium here and solves his puzzle.

[Wayfairers]

Pack one and buy more on the road if you need it.
