“IT’S TIME TO SHAVE AND SAVE BETTER…”
It may seem unlikely but with every recession comes opportunity. During the last downturn in 1993, for example, I started King of Shaves® by hand-filling bottles of our original shaving oil from my kitchen. Today, sixteen years on, King of Shaves is one of the UK’s best-loved shaving preparations brands, second only in popularity* to Gillette. In fact, we now sell one product every four seconds** and enjoy estimated retail sales of over £20,000,000. What’s more, our award winning new Azor® – British designed and manufactured – is the fastest growing* system razor in the UK market today.

It just goes to show that when times are hard there are still opportunities to be had. It’s simply a case of grabbing the right ones. Ones like the King of Shaves Shaving Bond, for instance, a new savings opportunity that laughs in the face of the base rate and pokes a finger in the eye of global economic instability…

You’ve probably got some questions about the Shaving Bond. I know I would have…

SO WHAT IS THE SHAVING BOND?
It’s an opportunity for you to ‘shave and save’ with King of Shaves. Yes, we’re offering you a 6% per annum, 3-year non-transferable, non-convertible savings bond. That’s a massive 12 times the current Bank of England base rate. You simply won’t get that from most High Street banks, or the Back Street ones for that matter.

HOW MUCH CAN I INVEST?
Each individual can apply for up to £5,000 worth of Shaving Bonds in multiples of £1,000, but with just 5,000 of the £1,000 Shaving Bonds available and over a million men enjoying King of Shaves every day, you’d better be quick!

WHAT ELSE DO I GET?
Successful bond applicants will also receive a limited edition mirror finish Shaving Bond certificate to hang in their bathroom, as well as exclusive, free King of Shaves products for the duration of the Shaving Bond.

HOW WILL YOU USE THE MONEY?
King of Shaves is seeking to raise a war chest of up to £5,000,000 in our battle to help you shave – and save – better, the proceeds of which will allow us to grow the awareness of the brand both here and abroad. Moreover, it will help us compete with the likes of Gillette, Wilkinson Sword and our biggest competitor, lack of awareness!

YOU’RE NOT GOING TO FEATHER YOUR NEST ARE YOU?
You have my word as a non-politician that the proceeds of the Shaving Bond will be used solely for marketing and promoting the King of Shaves brand to those yet to experience “The World’s Best Shave®”. It will not be used to buy my fellow directors or I any form of luxury transportation, nor will it fund any helipad maintenance or lavish pension schemes. Instead, we will use it on clever TV adverts, innovative online promotion, that kind of thing.

AM I ELIGIBLE?
This Shaving Bond offer is only open to UK residents who are aged 18 and over. Those with facial hair are also welcome to apply as are those who, for some reason, still use our rival brands.
