    Not really, but these people do!

    And for a good reason!

    partial quote:

    "The lifesaving idea goes back at least 40 years, when then-Lt. Col. Norman Schwarzkopf and some of his soldiers were caught in a minefield in Vietnam. Schwarzkopf, now a retired general, ordered some shaving cream flown in to where they were trapped, according to his autobiography “It Doesn’t Take a Hero.” They used it to mark the mines around them and created a path to safety.

    Herdener’s Marine unit uses shaving cream in much the same way, to mark mines and roadside bombs in Afghanistan. The shaving cream eventually evaporates, so Taliban forces can’t come along later and change the markings or see where the Marines have been."

    COOL stuff.

    Probably better to use the caned foam than a brush and soap for that stuff :)

    ORRR play with it in the shower. The Gel is the best toy for in the shower. Get a bit clean while having fun. It is the easiest to clean up silly string ever :)

    There's just something beautifully poetic about cans of shave goo getting blown up.
