Near thing (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

close shave

'near thing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(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 Guardian, The Sun, the Evening Standard and The Times.
