Absinthe has long been known as the official drink for people who like going crazy, or like to write crazy murder stories (such as Edgar Allen Poe). Now you can bring that party to your face with Korres Absinthe Heady Shave Cream, $28 from the Skin Store.

Isn't it a bad idea to combine psychoactive drugs and razors? Absolutely (see that Wiki entry on "Van Gogh, Victor," and "ear, missing"). But the shave cream has just a little bit of absinthe abstract, so you'll be able to drive after shaving. The abstract is meant to smooth your face, rather than give you the big green crazies.

If you want to find yourself some illegal absinthe (the psychoactive chemical thujone is filtered out of absinthe in the United States), consider how writer Ernest Hemingway liked to party with absinthe and a good blade:

"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife underhand into the piano."
