Bacon Shaving Cream? It's Gotta Be J&D's


BaconPop, one of J&D's more edible products
On my way into work this morning, I heard on the local news station a little story about a company in Seattle that’s started making bacon-scented shaving cream. 

Before the newscaster said the company’s name, I knew it could only be J&D’s. 

J&D’s – named after the founders, Justin and Dave – have been making interesting bacon products like Bacon Salt, Baconnaise, and BaconPop here in Seattle for years. They also happen to be our neighbors. I have fond memories their full-size bacon coffin, or that time they proudly showed us their most XXX-rated product, edible bacon-flavored personal lubricant. 

So, I guess bacon shaving cream was inevitable. After all, bacon shaving cream, “is what Vikings would have used this to mow down their impenetrable forest of man-beard,” says the J&D’s website. 

J and D know how to have fun, and they know how to meld bacon with anything – obviously. 

Not game to shave with bacon? Well, then you really should look into their more edible products. Items like bacon malt salt and Baconnaise are quite delightful.  They’re also safe for vegetarians – there’s no actual bacon involved – and Kosher. 

Whether you’re shopping for a gag gift or just something to sweeten up the life of a porcine-loving friend, invest in some J&D’s. Check out their full line at Chef Tools here.
