Bluebeards ‘Scimitar’ crowned world’s best razor by About.com readers
The Bluebeards Revenge 'Scimitar' Double Edge Razor
The Bluebeards Revenge “Scimitar” Double Edge Razor has been named the winner in the About.com 2012 Readers’ Choice Award for best wet shaving razor.
The iconic razor beat off competition from Gillette’s Fusion ProGlide and the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 to scoop the coveted first prize.
Nick Gibbens, The Bluebeards Revenge’s PR and Marketing Manager, said: “We are truly honoured to win such a prestigious award. To beat the world’s biggest two shaving brands is a massive achievement and something we are extremely proud of.
The 'Scimitar' is laser etched with The Bluebeards Revenge logo
“It’s also nice to see that people voted for a traditional single bladed safety razor over a multi-bladed cartridge system. Hopefully this shows that times are changing and men are turning their backs on expensive cartridge razors and investing in a shaving solution that provides a much closer shave and is cheaper in the long run.
“I would like to thank everyone who voted for us.”
The ‘Scimitar’ is a totally stunning, bespoke, German engineered double edged razor. It’s designed to cut through the manliest of stubble.
Meanwhile, The Bluebeards Revenge’s beard reducing shaving cream took second place in the best shaving cream category.

Introducing the Pils Stainless Steel Double Edge Razor (101NE)
The Shaving Shack is delighted to announce that we are now stocking the luxurious Pils Stainless Steel Double Edge Razor (101NE).
“When Pils say that they manufacture all of their handcrafted shaving accessories themselves, they mean it,” said Tom Trueman, head buyer at The Shaving Shack.
“Pils take pride in placing their logo exclusively on products that are designed and processed by hand, never using low-priced bulk parts.”
Finished in a gorgeous brushed stainless steel finish, this connoisseur two-piece razor personifies precision and craftsmanship from the German experts at Pils.
“Absolutely flawless construction combined with a very distinct design makes this the ultimate artisan razor,” Tom added.
US wet shaving guru Mike Sandoval, from Shaving101.com, rates the Pils 101NE DE safety razor as one of the very best.
He said: “I love mine, plain and simple. It may very well be the last DE razor I ever buy. Can I honestly recommend it? Sure, but with conditions.
“This is NOT a razor for beginners or those looking for a cost effective shave. This is a razor for those who have extra cash lying around asking to be spent, and even then there are razors on the market that cost much less and do a very nice, if not better job for some people.
“This is a razor for those who want a piece of art and craftsmanship that delivers a great shave if your technique is sound.”

Total Length: 100mm

The Pils Stainless Steel Double Edge Razor (101NE) is available to buy online from The Shaving Shack, priced £159.99.
How to style and shape a range of mo styles
Our good friends at Wilkinson Sword have created the essential ‘Mo Styling’ guide for all Mo Bros taking part in the month long charity event.
Wilkinson Sword are sponsors of this year’s Movember campaign.
Mo Styling
Choosing which mo to grow is the first challenge of a new Mo Bro recruit. Check out the 6 custom mo designs below for inspiration. Keep in mind the size of your face – smaller faces need a small mo whereas more striking, larger faces need a more prominent style.
The Rascal
If ‘Danger’ is your middle name, style up this bad boy for a look crafted to roguish perfection.
How to: Grow your mo along the upper lip about 2cm in length. As it passes the edges of the mouth, groom the hair using a trimmer. Allow your mutton chops to flourish so they grow down your face and meet with your sculpted mo.
The Eccentric
If you’re the off-the-wall life-and-soul, get trimming and create the minimal look with maximum effect.
How to: Precisely sculpt each side of your mo leaving only an inch of hair in the middle. The rest of your face has to be fuzz free, so use a decent razor for the best shave for your skin.
The Connoisseur
If you scream sophisticate and scoundrel in one, why not don the best way to finesse your face?
How to: Grow your mo in to a perfect rectangle along the upper lip, using a trimmer to create neat edges. Curl the ends up using your fingers and add a little wax to hold in place.
The Maverick
If you are a bit of a loose cannon then you’ll appreciate the crafted chaos of the marvellous mo on every wanted list.
How to: Grow hair over the upper lip and groom the edges so they finish about 1cm past your lip. Maintain the curved edges regularly and keep the length in check with a trimmer.
The Visionary
If your look and mind are way ahead of their time, shape the only style that can keep up.
How to: Grow the hair long above the upper lip so it can be parted and pulled to either side. Once the hair gets to a decent length maintain the neat edges with a trimmer.
About Movember
Movember is a charity event held throughout November to raise funds and awareness for men’s health issues. Known as Mo Bros, all participants register at the start of November with a clean-shaven face, then grow and groom their moustaches throughout November, raising as much money and awareness about male health issues as possible.
Wilkinson Sword Classic
As well as producing modern day cartridge razor blade systems, Wilkinson Sword are also proud manufacturers of classic double edge razors.
So if you’re happy in your skin and want simplicity with performance then the Wilkinson Sword Classic is the razor for you. And The Shaving Shack sells Wilkinson Sword double edged razor blades at very competitive prices.
Shaving Shack now stocking luxury Plisson shaving brushes
The Shaving Shack is delighted to announce that we are now stocking the luxury range of Plisson badger hair shaving brushes.
The highlight of this premium collection is the beautifully crafted Horn Handle Pure White High Mountain Badger Brush.
Made of genuine horn and the finest rare badger hair - this hand made brush really is the ultimate in French luxury.
The High Mountain White is characterised by its softness and its extreme resistance. The genuine horn handle is made to the very highest of standards, giving it a perfect weight and aesthetic quality.
Priced at £229.99, this brush does not come cheap but it would certainly add some class to your bathroom cabinet.
If you fancy something a little less pricey, then why not go for this Black Handle Grey European Badger Shaving Brush.

Vintage Shaving Company arrives at The Shaving Shack
The Shaving Shack is delighted to announce that it is now stocking the very stylish Vintage Shaving Company brand of men’s skincare products.
Vintage Shaving Company is a new men’s grooming brand, bringing together values of tradition, quality and simplicity with the latest technologies in formulations and environmentally considerate componentry.
The high quality components are 100% recyclable, and all papers are ethically sourced from sustainable forests. Everything is made in England.
Previously exclusive to Harrods, this revolutionary men’s grooming line launches on The Shaving Shack with two exciting collections, Trad and Mod.
Trad is the epitome of a classic, traditional men’s fragrance. The barber’s pole design harks back to the days of real gentlemen’s grooming habits, while strikingly refreshing citrus & lavender notes smoothly blend to the woody undertones.
The Mod fragrance is every bit as rebellious as the roundel symbol embellished in its packaging design. Never before have bergamot, lemon and spearmint been blended in a men’s fragrance to such an effect. The enlivening result tones to a heart of floral notes, blending effortlessly to a vanilla and woody base. Rebelliously masculine.
The Shaving Shack is stocking three products from each of the MOD and TRAD range – the exfoliating face wash (150ml), shaving cream (150ml) and the daily face balm (150ml).

$100k sapphire razor now being stocked at The Shaving Shack
The Shaving Shack is delighted to announce that we are now stocking the $100,000 Zafirro Iridium razor.
Is it April Fools Day again?
Unfortunately, we are not really stocking this luxurious new razor but I thought I would give it a product mention anyway.
According to Zafirro, it’s the world’s first razor with sapphire blades. The handle is made primarily from iridium, one of the rarest and strongest metals in existence.
“In addition to vastly extended blade life, the solid white sapphire blades offer a number of additional advantages over conventional steel blades. They are hypoallergenic, impervious to oxidation and corrosion, and very sharp,” said Zafirro in a statement.
“The sapphire is sharpened using high-energy, ionized particles to create an edge less than 100 atoms in width, 5000 times smaller than the width of a hair.”
The company says it will only produce 99 of the Iridium line, which went on sale yesterday for $100,000.
The blades include a 10-year guarantee and Zafirro will provide complementary servicing and professional cleaning for Iridium customers, as well as resharpening if necessary.
Sounds like a bargain!! For more information, visit www.zafirro.com.
Well if you haven’t got a spare $100k lying around then you might want to pick an alternative razor brand such as Merkur or Parker, we’ve got plenty of these in stock.
Merkur 34C voted world’s best razor
The Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Classic has been named the world’s best razor.
The iconic shaving product took first place in the About.com 2011 Readers’ Choice Award for best razor.
Now in its fourth year, the Readers’ Choice Awards honour the world’s best products, features and services across more than a dozen categories, ranging from technology to hobbies to parenting and men’s grooming, as selected by its readers.
The Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Classic beat off competition from the likes of the Gillette Fusion ProGlide, Gillette Mach 3 and Shick Hydro 5 to scoop the coveted award.
“We are not surprised that the Merkur 34C won this very prestigious award. This is one of our best selling razors and is every thing a razor should be. No cartridge razor could ever compete with the quality of the Merkur 34C.
“Sometimes you hold a razor in your hand and it feels just right. The chrome finish 34C is one of those razors. The combination of weight, craftsmanship and looks make it the perfect entry into double-edged razor shaving. A true heavyweight classic!”
In January, About.com’s readers were asked to nominate their favourite grooming products. After a nomination period that saw a flurry of activity, four finalists were chosen in each category.
