Default easyJet hand baggage questions

For an easyJet flight Gatwick-Cologne I'm considering taking only hand
baggage but have several questions not answered clearly on their site:

1) Max size of bag? The BAA site says = 56 x 45 x 25 cm. But EZ Jet
spec is 55 x 40 x 20 cm, quite a lot smaller. Why this substantial
difference compared to official specs? At Security do I have to show
it fits in a frame of that lower size?

2) Can I take my additional small rucksack or not? BAA says government
restrictions now lifted, so yes, but easyJet website says no.

3) Is it OK to take a can of shaving gel (assuming I can find one no
larger than 100 ml)?

4) Is a normal shaving razor (Gillette Sensor) OK?

5) Can I take nail scissors if they have rounded points?

The government/BAA rules are the maximum that they will allow. If an
airlines sets the bar lower that is entirely their prerogative. You have
to meet the lower limit of everything.

Razor and scissors, I wouldn't consider it unless I was prepared to lose
them. Gel, less than the government 100ml, yes but it's the container, not
the amount in the container, that is relevant (but I think you realise
that).
