         <title>King of Shaves Wins Two Business Awards!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[King of Shaves was recognised at the 3rd '<strong><a href="http://www.fgba.co.uk/">Fast Growth Business Awards 2009</a></strong>', arranged by 'Growing Business' magazine, and sponsored by T-Mobile. We were judged <strong>winner</strong> of the '<a href="http://www.fgba.co.uk/2009_winners2.html">Product Business of the Year</a>' category and the overall '<a href="http://www.fgba.co.uk/2009_winners2.html">Fast Growth Business of the Year</a>'. 

Many thanks to our employees, shareholders and partners, both retail and supply, who have helped us this past year, and of course to the one million odd members of the Great British Shaving Public who've eschewed our competition, and chosen to shave 'closer, longer, for less' with our new King of Shaves <a href="http://www.shave.com/azor/">Azor</a>. 

You can see a short interview with Herbie and Will <a href="http://www.fgba.co.uk/2009_video_interview_files/T-Mobile_Company_of_the_Year_&_Product_Business_of_the_Year.htm">here</a>.

         <title>King of Shaves Woman Azure Aura Razor Launched</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Following on from the <a href="http://www.shave.com/azor/">King of Shaves Azor</a> for men we have now launched the <strong>King of Shaves Woman Azure</strong> System Razor for women. Packaged in the same recycled (and recyclable) materials as the men's razor, the design purposefully eschews the traditional pastel colours of female shaving for a strong, striking and on-trend gold and black design. 

The Azure combines shaving comfort and performance via an internationally patented TST (Touch Skin Technology) elastomer skin bumper and pivot system. This allows the Endurium coated, super long-lasting blades to shave at optimum pressure against the skin whilst a larger soft rubber 'bumper' helps reduce risk of unwanted nicks and lifts hairs for a smoother shave.

The Azure's uniquely patented wishbone-shaped head design provides greater visibility when shaving and the ergonomically designed, lightweight handle allows for a superbly comfortable shave which effortlessly follows every contour and curve of the skin.

The Azure is available now at major <a href="http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/">Sainsbury's</a> stores throughout the UK as well as from KMI's online store <a href="http://www.kmishop.com/King-of-Shaves-Woman-Azure-System-Razor-PUK_AZURE/">www.kmishop.com</a>.
