Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) for facilitating the shaving of large body surfaces. The method employs a skin lubricating unit (12) in the form of a shaving gel (41) impregnated with a luminous agent such as “Luminal” that will penetrate the user's body hairs wherever the foaming gel (41) is applied such that a razor blade member (20) equipped with a black light element (30) disposed in proximity to the shaving blade cartridge (24) will cause any body hairs missed in the shaving process to glow under the combined effects of the “Luminal” and the black light to insure that the selected body surfaces are completely shaved.

Abstract: An underground utility location marker including an elongated casing inserted into the ground above an underground utility line, and a rod received in the casing. The rod is selectively movable between a lowered storage position and a raised warning position where it can be seen by a person preparing to excavate in the area. A directional arrow and a distance indicator are carried on a ground flange attached to the top of the casing to show the direction and distance to the next adjacent marker. Also, the rod is of a distinctive color indicating a specific utility.
