You can try bringing the electric razor if you want. I used mine the whole way through, even during poopy week. That way I didn't have to fight for a sink. Even the hand lotion isn't too bad an idea, even if you get razzed for it. They are going to give you a hard time about something anyway. Everyone I knew had small cuts on their hands and cracks that lotion would have helped. Just don't bring the mega bottle, then you would be asking for trouble. You will be issued most of what you need during your poopy christmas, so don't over do it. What ever else you need, your class liason will get or escort you to get. All the extra stuff you bring just adds weight and is more to carry around. Common sense is the key.
