Pleasure Trip

Airport-perfect kits and an enjoyable shave from The Art of Shaving

Let’s see a show of hands: who hates air travel? We agree, ducklings. We really, really do.

The tediously long lines, the outrageous checked baggage charges, the danky stench of plebs without their shoes on -- sheesh, we need a vacation just to relax from the stress of the airport.

Fortunately, TSA rules mean that your large can of Gilette foamy is forbidden. That’s a good thing.

Instead, educate yourself in The Art of Shaving.

Long famous for their quality everyday skin care for modern gentlemen, The Art of Shaving recently introduced pint-sized versions of their famed Pre-Shave Oil, Shaving Cream, and the alcohol-free After-Shave Balm. Three ounces or less each, these tiny totables meets all TSA carry-on requirements.

Choose from three base oils, depending on your skin type: sandalwood for dry, lavender for sensitive, lemon for oily. For sensitive skin, go with an unscented, hypoallergenic formula. And any of the four work wonderfully for normal skin.

The bottles are available for purchase individually, or you can buy them as a set. Each employs a new airless pump system for convenience. So fancy.

Don’t even think about using the awful, cheap cosmetics provided by your hotel sundry shop. Each product has a two-week supply, ideal for even an extended business trip or pleasure cruise.

Now if only The Art of Shaving could do get rid of those terrible middle seats in coach.

Individual products start at $14
Carry on kits, including shaving brush, $50
