"Shaving oil (in the tiny bottles) is the way to go. Having introduced me to it is the only thing I'll give the liquids nonsense credit for; it gives a far, far better shave (closer, smoother and less likely to rip my face to bits) than any foam or gel I have ever used."
Agreed. I use King of Shaves when travelling. Those tiny bottles weigh almost nothing, excellent for travelling light. The only drawback is that it's easy to miss a bit of stubble, so you need to be thorough.
With regard to finger nails, I just bite mine when they get too long. (If you're going to use 'nature's nail scissors', make sure your nails are clean first, though!)
