Well, I gotta be honest, I don't know jack shit about shaving cream or salves. but I intend to send mail to the president asking what soaps are used at the White House. You can enquire about President Clinton's salves by sending e-mail to president@whitehouse.gov.

Again, I'm no expert on presidential hygeine, but I know most presidents had make-up artists, and if Nixon's ear and face hair was a problem, it would certainly be taken care of. I seriously doubt that any special treatment would be given to his detritus.

The maids and housekeepers would probably flush for him if he "forgot". In fact, I would be extremely surprised to learn otherwise. Has anyone here ever gone on a tour of the White House? Or at least met with Eastern European vice-presidents?
