The Bite:
So shave, already. Lower your impact with old-school shaving soap, which requires less packaging and costs less than bottled creams, for a look that's more sleek than sasquatch.

The Benefits:
- Less packaging. You'll avoid aerosol cans (which aren't recyclable in many areas) and needless packaging, which accounts for 1/3 of the trash we send to landfills.
- Saves money. Shaving soap (even eco brands) is cheaper than cream and lasts longer too.
- Be less prickly. (Psst...42% of women prefer a clean-shaven man, while 31% prefer a five o'clock shadow.)
Personally Speaking:
Of the Biter boys on staff, Brett uses cream and Toshio never shaves, so Heather took it upon herself to try using the shave soaps on her legs. She liked the results but is sticking to sugaring.
Wanna Try:
- Herban Cowboy Old Fashioned Shave Kit - looking for a present for your fave Biter boy? This kit comes with a brush, mug, and bar of 70% organic soap, made with coconut and palm oils ($24).
- Old West Soap Company Shaving Soap - glycerin and shea butter formula that comes in a tin ($8).
- Simmons Aloe Shaving Soap - inexpensive alternative made with aloe vera; available scented or unscented ($3).
- Vegan Shaving Brush - most shaving brushes are made from badger or boar's hair; here's a vegan alternative ($6).

Cocktail Fact
Through the age of 75, the average American man spends 37.5 days of his life shaving.
Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Biters choose shaving soap over an aerosol can of cream, we'll keep the weight of three Bigfoots in steel outta the waste stream.
