Take That! FAA

By David Bennett

So you’re in line at the airport and you’ve meticulously placed all your high priced toiletries in a zip lock bag. You put your bags through the x-ray only to be told by one of the TSA guys that your aftershave, which you thought looked like it was under 3 fluid ounces, was in fact 3.2 ounces, and that it would have to be discarded, lest you be imprisoned for 5 years. You argue with them, proclaiming you just spent $30 bucks on that tiny bottle, and why can’t they make just a small exception. You know your little bottle is destined for the toiletry graveyard at LAX. You should’ve gotten Urth.

Urth (skin solutions for men) has tackled the age old problem all well-groomed males face (no pun intended) during check-in. They’ve come up with “The Perfect Travel Kit”, and the name pretty much says it all. For 59 bucks, Urth gives you Face Wash, Shave Formula, Face Balm (with a 15 SPF), Face Scrub and a black nylon mesh bag. The Urth travel pak is a must have for the traveling man. The only problem is that the products are so darn good you’ll want to use them as your primary face care, but they’re only 2 ounces each. Don’t fret, Urth sells the full size “Man’s Best Friend Kit” for $125 so you can save the little bottles for travel.

Whether you’re going to Vegas with the boys for the weekend, or flying to New York for an important meeting, rest assured you can freshen up on board before landing. More product information as well as online ordering at www.geturth.com. Free shipping on orders $75 or more.
