Why was I covered with shaving cream yesterday?
I understand that the Laotian people splash water on each other to bring good luck in the new year, but why do they also squirt shaving cream on each other too? When I asked, they just said “we ran out of silly string…” (me: soaked and smelling like Old Spice)
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In place of the powder, however, Lanexang vendors sell extra large bottles of shaving cream. Instead of rubbing powder on others' faces, the children, when they are not soaking each other with water, spray shaving cream on each other.
Shaving cream fights are one of the most fun activities you can do at camp!

Ok, here is an excerpt from an article about the Lao New Year celebrations;
---quote---
While walking through the crowds toward the various food and craft booths, attendees dodged smiling and laughing children armed with shaving cream and water guns, something that one of the children said is not for tradition, but “for fun.”

Thanks Hilo! You're a sport!
Happy to help...you were starting to sound a little desperate, so I wanted to try to give you a 'real' response. It doesn't appear to be anything more than good clean fun... :)
I also remember shaving cream the last day of summer camp :-D
