I get a skin rash from the various shaving creams I tried when I was a teenager, since then have always used the same bar soap I use in the shower.
I also clog up disposable razors if I do not shave for 5 or more days, usually use an older double edge razor for that reason. It is easy to loosen the knob, rinse it out and tighten knob, takes maybe 2 seconds. For a long tour, I carry the disposable for lightness and fear of losing the vintage double edge razor that would be costly to replace.
Also carry a flat rubber sink stopper, some sinks at campgrounds do not have sink stoppers.
I still have a few Bic single blade disposables I bought a few decades ago, 4.8 grams, less than a tenth of the weight of the Gillette double edge unit at 72 grams.
