THE KING'S BLOG

For more months than I care to remember, I've been testing our new King of Shaves razor against A) other razors and B) with other shaving 'software' - by which I mean canned gels, as well as our tubed, aloe based AlphaGels.

This morning, I decided to stop. My research is complete. In my humble opinion,our new razor is awesome. It shaves great. It looks great. It's styling is bang on. And I reckon it's going to shake up the cosy little Wilkinette duopoly no end. And bring an end to the craziness of disposable razors at the same time.

After I'd got my son his breakfast, I had my shower and decided to return to shaving with my trusty, original, King of Shaves shaving oil and my brand new King of Shaves razor. The pure play 'King of Shaves'.

And i enjoyed a FANTASTIC shave. I'd forgotten how good it was - it took me back to early 1993, when I first started on this 'shave odyssey. Fifteen years on, we have a razor that is absolutely the 'King' of blades, and software that works in synergy with it.

I'm not going back to testing chemical, canned yuck. No, for me there's only one way forward - the future of shaving, the pure play King of Shaves!

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)!
