I found this Nivea Shaving Cream while on hols in Greece, at a third of the price it's being sold for here on
. It's a 100ml so HBO safe, but being a aluminium tube, it folds down as you use it, saving space and allowing you to know how much you have left - unlike a can when there's some left and you don't know how many shaves left you have with it and end up taking two cans instead!
For short trip I squeeze some out into a

When I used to fly to Australia for work, I also used to take a small cheap battery operated razor to use enroute. I don't recall the Molton Brown amenity kits having shaving gel or razors in them (they were fabulous kits with a couple of MB products in them. Ended up becoming a regular customer. So much nicer than Jo Malone. I'm ambivalent to the Elemis kits. Does the job, but doesn't excite me in any way to buy the product like MB does - particularly when it's on sale!)
