The King of Ultimate Close Shaves Part One

Our 'skyshave' goes viral...from skydivingmovies.com:

Description: The World's First 'Ultimate Close Shave'

The world's first skydiving stunt featuring shaving in a barber's chair took place this weekend in Ocana, near Madrid.

The stunt saw some of the world's finest skydivers and base jumpers jump from a plane at 15, 000 feet. The jump was led by seasoned skydiver Mark Harris.

The jump was dedicated to Paul Harris, father of Mark, who was diagnosed with a terminal illness and passed away just after the event. Mark has taken part in lots of dangerous and exciting stunts, but wanted to do something that was a world first in honour of his dad. The determined group completed the shave, whilst falling 1000's of feet through the air to celebrate Paul's life and were able show him the pictures and video footage afterwards.

The jump, which cost thousands of pounds to organise, was sponsored by Will King, founder of King of Shaves. The jump was the idea of Sam Clark, who's recently bought Will's favourite pub in nearby Winchmore Hill, the Plough. Over drinks one evening, Sam suggested that a 'Skyshave' would be fun to do, and with King of Shaves launching its first razor, will 'jumped' at the chance. Sam organised the event, and Will's looking forward to next instalment in the 'Ultimate Close Shave' series...watch this space (gulp)!
