Trust me...I am looking at a travel-sized can of shaving cream that says
"Gillette(R) Foamy(R) Regular Shaving Cream".  I've had this for a few
months (only use it for travelling).  If Jack really wanted to have a
snowballs chance in hell of keeping this, he should have registered a
trademark for it, or shown prior art.

I still don't like the vagueness of the ICANN rules, though...
