Shaving cuts; Vaseline or toilet paper?

I've been shaving for well over 30 years. I remember when I was younger toilet paper was the way to stop a shaving cut, but for a few decades I've been using Vaseline, what's everyone else's take?

Day use hotels for travel.

A little while ago someone posted the difficulty of traveling as a night person or on nightshift because of hotel checkout times being accursedly early. (Oh and let's not talk about their breakfast ending at 8:30am.)

This site has day use hotels https://www.dayuse.com/ which has your regular brand name hotels, but they offer the off peak hours during the day generally for a significantly reduced rate.

I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it, I heard it's not in all cities, but if you're traveling and you're on the graveyard shift sleep schedule this might be helpful.

Style for a 12F not really into hard training?

So I have trained most of my life, hard styles; boxing, kyokushin, bjj, a bunch of traditional styles like TKD and Ryukyu Kempo, and was in the military.

My daughter is 12, I want her to have some form of self defense, but she is in no way looking at hard styles. I thought firearms training, but she doesn't want to touch a gun (maybe Filipino knife fighting?)

So I'm looking for styles that can maybe be good against untrained people, guys who are getting a bit handsy, enough to show that she won't be an easy target, but probably wouldn't last against anyone with any training.

To be fair she is resilient and strong, competes in rock climbing and hikes recreationally, but doesn't dig fighting. Or dancing/performing so any style with kata/forms is probably out.

I know, really limited. I only see something like wing chung or maybe something like Japanese ju jitsu.

Any other ideas?
