I've been shaving with conditioner since I was 12. I read it in a magazine, tried it and never went back. I never get cuts.
When my hands are feeling dry from weather or constant hand washing, I slather on my favorite moisturizer, slip on cloth gloves (never latex) and sleep with them. My hands are so soft in the morning. I also employ this method for my feet.
Adding milk (cow's milk or the dry, powdered variety) to bath water to moisturize skin. And no, you won't stink.
Due to conditioner's inherent viscosity, it clings to the sides of the bottle even after you think you've gotten all of it out. I use tons of conditioner and I cut the bottles open because you'd be surprised at how much remains.

only am left w/ a small portion in the middle (so that I'm making an "inner" or "mini" ponytail. Then, I wrap a black (matches my base
hair color) fabric "scrunchie" around the mini-tail. Then, I take the remainder of my hair (not in a ponytail) and pull it back so that it basically
covers the mini-tail. Then, I take a simple ponytail elastic band and finish the "real" ponytail.
