Why hasn’t modern technology found a way to prevent shaving cream cans from rusting at the bottom? I mean what year is this anyway, 2009 or 1952?
Go to your medicine cabinet. Pick up the shaving cream can (no matter the brand) and look at the bottom of the can. If it’s been in there for longer than a week, you will likely see the bottom of the can already rusting.
Those of you who keep the shaving cream can on the counter: Pick up the can and look at the rusty ring it just left on the bathroom sink!
Why can’t they manufacture a shaving cream can that doesn’t rust?
One solution to the problem:
Go to a pet store and buy one of those plastic covers for a very small can of cat food. It perfectly fits on the bottom of a can of shaving cream. This prevents the bottom of can from rusting.
Another solution:
Switch to old fashioned shaving soap in a mug and brush, available at www.VermontCountryStore.com Whip up the shaving cream with the mug in a sink full of hot water and you get hot shaving cream to put on your face.
The can is going to be thrown away anyhow when it’s empty. Is the extra cost of stainless worth having ? - the corrosion sounds like no more than irritating rather than hazardous
Agreed. I’ve been using a mug for over a decade, and it is by far a better shave. It’s also a hell of a lot cheaper. The only time I use traditional shaving cream is when I travel.
That’s where I shave, as well- and I shave my head in addition to my face. The only downside is that I have to take longer showers- which, frankly, isn’t that much of a problem.
Ow ow ow. Seriously? Maybe facial hair is that much finer than leg/underarm hair, but speaking as someone who’s occasionally shaved with just water when she was out of shaving cream, it doesn’t give *nearly *as good a shave.
