It's 6:45 a.m., and you're running late for work. To make matters worse, your shaving gel runs dry, leaving your legs resembling that cactus plant perched on your windowsill.
You spot your boyfriend's Lavender Shaving Cream on the bathroom sink. Sure, it's made for guys, but a product from a company called The Art Of Shaving has got to be good for women, right? Right! So lather up and put that cream to good use!

"My husband puts my conditioner in his bath water because it 'makes his skin soft.'" - Erica B.
