The Midnight Oil

Fear of chem-laden shaving creams (plus a nick or two) keeping you awake at night? Whether you're defuzzing your face or your legs, Pacific Shaving Company's shaving oil makes it easy to see where your razor's headed - great for maneuvering around nicks from your last lousy cream-shave. Plus it's chock-full of essential oils, meaning less skin irritation. Stock a stuffing with a ½-oz bottle (good for 100 uses, seriously), and put the kibosh on excuses for abandoning the razor on vacay. The concentrated formula makes for less waste and less energy used in transport, and Pacific Shaving plants a tree for every bottle sold, giving you a few more reasons to sleep well...

Wanna Try: 

Pacific Shaving Company, available online or at at Whole Foods Market, 450 Rhode Island St. (415-552-1155). One 1/2-oz bottle, $7.

SF Biters receive 10% off online orders; just enter discount code IDEALBITE at checkout. Offer good through Jan. 4.

Cocktail Fact

The longest leg hair on record belongs to Australian Tim Stinton, measuring just short of 5 in.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters opt for a ½-oz bottle of shaving oil rather than a can of cream, we'll keep the weight of 9,688 razors in steel out of our landfills.
