Shaving Shack supports Movember with prize for best moustache
The Shaving Shack is calling on its army of male customers to raise cash for charity by joining the Movember campaign and growing innovative ‘taches.
We’re even giving away a luxurious Bluebeards Revenge shaving set to the man who grows the most creative and interesting moustache.
To be eligible for the prize, Movember supporters should simply email a picture of their new facial hair to [email protected]. The winner will be chosen at the end of the month. We will also be posting a selection of the best weekly Mo pics on our Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/theshavingshack - our blog and twitter feed. So lads, what are you waiting for? Start growing that Mo!!!
The Movember charity sees men the world over sprouting upper lip hair in the month of November to help raise awareness for prostate cancer. The event last year raised a whopping £26million to fight the disease.

Shaving Shack and Hammonds join forces to help fight prostate cancer
Inspired by the women around them and all they’ve done for breast cancer campaigns in the past, the men in the Leeds office of international law firm Hammonds LLP are growing moustaches for the month of November to raise awareness of prostate cancer and men’s health, and to raise funds for Yorkshire Cancer Research.
Having grown and styled the moustaches for judging, the awards for the best moustaches (and worst moustaches) will be handed out at the annual Christmas dinner on December 16 at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Leeds.
The Shaving Shack has donated five luxury Bluebeards Revenge shaving cream and brush sets, which will be awarded to the five individuals who raise the most sponsorship for the charity.
Hammonds hopes to raise over £20,000 over this year for Yorkshire Cancer Research
Hammonds hopes to raise over £20,000 over this year for Yorkshire Cancer Research, its chosen charity for 2010/2011.
Tom Ward, organiser of the Hammonds “Grow a Mo” event, which has also been sponsored by Men’s Health Magazine as well as The Shaving Shack, said: “We’re really grateful to the guys at The Shaving Shack for donating some great prizes for the charity competition. The buzz around the office has been great… there are guys growing Handlebars to Fu Manchus.
”I’m sure we’ll be sad to shave our moustaches in December, but I’m sure the sadness will be short lived for the lucky five who get to shave off their Mo’s using the Bluebeards Revenge cream and brush sets! Thank you to all the team at The Shaving Shack for getting behind us and Yorkshire Cancer Research.”

Its official: Shaving Shack website is a cut above the rest
The Shaving Shack website has been given a glowing review by a leading British Internet magazine.
Web User magazine scored www.shaving-shack.com an impressive four out of five points in ‘Issue 239 - 6 May 2010’.
“From badger-hair brushes to cut-throat razors, this re-launched online store has everything the discerning gentleman needs to ensure a smooth shave,” the review read.
It added: “You can even buy ‘something for the weekend’ and get tips on painless whisker removal.
”Despite its traditional wares, the site has a friendly, modern feel that makes effective use of social-media elements in, for example, product-demonstration videos.
“A blog and Twitter feed deliver updates from the shaving world and you can get 10 per cent off your next purchase if you sign up for the newsletter.
”Most importantly, the smart design makes it easy to browse hundreds of products, and you can read and write reviews.”
Shaving Shack web manager Nick Gibbens, who oversaw the recent redesign of the website, said he was delighted with the review.
“We built the new website with the customer journey at the heart. Web User’s review shows we have achieved our main goal and this is of course reassuring.
“Our new site is wider, innovative and user-friendly, and really serves as a model for what savvy consumers expect when they shop on online.
“Our previous website was a little outdated, and did not completely serve the purpose of informing our customers about the extensive range of products we sell.”
Web User is the UK’s best-selling Internet magazine – on sale every fortnight. The publication offers UK consumers simple-to-follow Internet and computing advice that is accessible, inspiring and useful.
