Near thing (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

close shave

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">near thing</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for close shave that I've seen before include "Chases vole (anag.)" , "nasty moment" , "result being not so hairy" , "Sharp razor helps with this" , "resulting in barefaced cheek?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Evening Standard, The Guardian and The Sun.
