I always accept the offered free magazines outside railway stations, and find that today's Shortlist has an article on Will King, founder of King of Shaves.
I loved the story behind it -- a redundant marketer with a degree in mechanical engineering wondering if there was a way to avoid rashes when wet shaving using bath oil as he figured that lubrication would help, and his father suggesting that his surname would make a good company name.
I've checked and his Shaving composition is on the patents database as is his new product, the Azor® hand razor, with its main drawings shown below.
This is his Shaving system comprising a razor handle. Using his skills and a lot of courage (and initially debt on his credit card) King's company has surged ahead. He claims to have had offers of £30 million to sell up but has no intention of doing so, as "They say the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is that a millionaire sells up 10 years too soon".
Awesome technology but I prefer to use electric razor.

I have been using their shaving oil for many years, and tried out their Azor a few months ago. So far I am very impressed. The blades seem to last much longer than their rivals.
