Cheap Shaving Gel

Instead of buying fancy shaving gel, you can use conditioner or lotion if you don't like the use of regular soap lather.

Some free sources for this: Complimentary hotel lotions and conditioners or Walgreens and similar stores often give rebates for hair products. In fact, I have yet to buy a conditioner for a few years, mainly because I hardly use it for my hair, but I pick up the free ones from Walgreens and they are starting to become stockpiled.
