Making Shaving Easier (NAPSA)—Sometimes the most surprising products are those that present a new take on something simple—such as shaving. For example, for decades it seemed that the introduction of the aerosol shave cream was the last word on making shaving easier and more effective. That may not be thecase. Striking Oil Oneof the latest innovations in shaving—along with cutting the goatee loose and keeping the 5 o’clock shadow—is shaving oil. The main difference between the shaving oils on the market is the ingredient in the baseoil.

The oil comes in a small bottle that can deliver up to 100 shaves per container. The bottle’s size makes it convenient for travel— even as a carry-on item on planes. Designed with “minimalism in mind,” the concentrated oil requires fewer raw materials and less energy to manufacture. That, according to the manufacturer, makes it a green alternative with a smaller carbon footprint than traditional canned shaving cream. To learn more, visit www. shave.com.
