Paper soap is by no means a new product. When I was young, my grandma still had a couple of sheets from back when she was young.

But the TSA regulations have given it a new life: because it doesn’t contain liquid, it can be safely transported on a plane. While actual soap is also a solid, other similar hygiene products like shampoo or shaving cream aren’t and frequent fliers might find it a pain to keep looking for appropriate containers.

The Dissolving Paper Shaving Sheets might not get the job done as well as the real thing, but they can be a suitable replacement on short term and they’re extremely easy to use. The only necessary “ingredient” is water: once in contact with it, they melt down and can be used for a decent shave.

The pack is the size of a matchbox and carries 50 sheets, so it will make travelers more than happy. No added weight, no spills, no security issues… as long as you don’t have super-sensitive skin, what’s not to like?
