         2 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one orifice comprises a first orifice and a second orifice, wherein said first orifice is positioned opposite said second orifice. 
     
     
         3 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one orifice comprises a frontal facing orifice, a rear facing orifice, a right side facing orifice, and a left side facing orifice. 
     
     
         4 . The package of  claim 3 , wherein the average cross section of the frontal facing orifice and the rear facing orifice is less than the cross sectional area of the right side facing orifice and the left side facing orifice. 
     
     
         5 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one orifice has a shape selected from the group consisting of a circular, oval, or elliptical shape, a square or rectangular shape, a triangular shape, and a star shape. 
     
     
         6 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one orifice has a largest cross sectional area of from about 0.015 inches 2  to about 0.03 inches 2 . 
     
     
         7 . The package of  claim 6 , wherein said largest cross sectional area is from about 0.018 inches 2  to about 0.02 inches 2 . 
     
     
         8 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one orifice has a largest cross sectional diameter of from about 0.1 inches to about 0.2 inches. 
     
     
         9 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one orifice has a largest cross sectional diameter of about 0.15 inches. 
     
     
         10 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing conduit comprises a smallest cross sectional area which is perpendicular to said central longitudinal axis, and wherein said smallest cross sectional area is greater than the cross sectional area of said at least one orifice. 
     
     
         11 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the distance between the at least one orifice farthest from the applicator base and the applicator base forms a second height, wherein said second height is less than the first height. 
     
     
         12 . The package of  claim 11 , wherein the second height is about half the first height. 
     
     
         13 . The package of  claim 11 , wherein the second height is from about 0.3 inches to about 0.5 inches shorter than the first height. 
     
     
         14 . The package of  claim 13 , wherein the second height is from about 0.4 inches shorter than the first height. 
     
     
         15 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one orifice farthest from the applicator base is from about 0.05 inches to about 0.15 inches from the top of the dispensing conduit. 
     
     
         16 . The package of  claim 15 , wherein the at least one orifice farthest from the applicator base is from about 0.1 inches from the top of the dispensing conduit. 
     
     
         17 . The package according to  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a horizontal plane defining a first cross-sectional shape, the skin-contacting portion comprises a horizontal plane defining a second cross-sectional shape, each of the first cross-sectional shape and the second cross-sectional shape comprises a major dimension oriented along a first axis and a minor dimension oriented along a second axis, and wherein the major dimensions are greater than the minor dimensions. 
     
     
         18 . The package according to  claim 1 , wherein the package further comprises a valve disposed between the body and the applicator. 
     
     
         19 . The package according to  claim 1 , wherein the body contains a shave prep composition. 
     
     
         20 . The package of  claim 1 , further comprising a second dispensing conduit extending away from the applicator base.
