Comments on: The “Azor” razor from King of Shaves… a bit disappointing. http://www.tcbutler.co.uk/2008/11/02/the-azor-razor-from-king-of-shaves-a-bit-disappointing/ tom butler's internet home.

This is very interesting because I too have been making a study of shaving products and I can say that KOS menthol gel is the best ever. There are comparable products available from Nivea 4men and L'Oreal (which my brother in law gets me for birthdays) but they are all too foamy or do not promote enough glide. I don't know if you remember but I have a large scar across my lip and when it gets nicked it makes a mess of me for ages. There goes all my cornet stamina as I try to move my mouthpiece out of the way. Have you and your readers seen the Gillette ads where Thierry Henry and Tiger Woods and Roger Federer encourage viewers to give up their Mach3s for Fusion? There is a reason for that - Mach3 is the most popular razor of all time. One that I still use. Why would I risk moving from a Mach3 (non turbo) and KOS gel to something else when I have finally settled on a combo that works? Hey Tom.

Regarding the 'lightness' of the handle, this was deliberate in using materials that are less energy consumptive, along with lasting longer. regarding the 'under the nose' area, we are working on this actively, but (amazingly) there are some quite 'edgy' patents about this area, which we cannot easily resolve (quite yet). personally, i'm able to shave fine, by holding the tip of my nose upwards, and inwards, and then shaving down. i have hair growth close to the nose, but am able to deal with it. We are committed to continually improving our products (without increasing the cost where possible) and with 15% handle market share already, seem to be converting a lot of people a week. Please do get in touch by email, if you have further questions or other feedback. Best wishes, Will King hi tom, i was interested to read your blog, appraisal of the Azor.
