This week I have been in back-to-back meetings all around London with business owners, talking about blogging.
One meeting I had was with Will King, founder of The King of Shaves. I was particularily keen to meet Will as he knows the pains involved with starting-up a company from home and trying to take on the big boys, in his case Gillette, mine MyBlogLog (yes I know, big difference, but similar pains, getting in front of people etc!). His oil was a product I used before I left to live in France with the family, and then those damn liquid restrictions on Planes kicked-in, rendering it impossible to bring back and forth razors and liquids. I digress..
Will and his company recently brought out a razor called the Azor, to challenge and beat the overpriced corporates and in his own words ” Shaves closer, longer and for less”. I have to confess that I haven’t tried one as yet, hopefully, the guys will send one to me in France, beating the travel restrictions – I will blog the results as a comparison on video, now that will be different!
Anyhow, again, I digress. The team have a “Battle Bus” touring the UK to promote the Azor and of course, some lucky people are getting to find out there and then how the razor works with demonstrations taking place, take a look here at their blog, their flickr set and youtube vid’s (I think we can say they understand social media). Will and Tim at The King of Shaves have offered to give bloggers on Fuelmyblog a bit of a VIB (Very Important Blogger) treatment. During the next week, the bus will be in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle (dates and time here)- by being a member of this great community (and of course living near will help!) they are offering to shave you (guys only sorry!) and let you into to the exclusive VIB zone where you can chill, use some wifi and blog the experience! I would suggest taking someone to film the shave it would make a great fun post – I know MrsD would take great joy in filming me shaved and blog it! They will have some exclusive (first come first served) blogger packs to take away with you too.
If you are in the area, and want to take part, please email mail me on info at fuelmyblog.com asap, you will be sent a time and date from the guys directly and you will also get to meet the team behind the Azor.
We will be involving a wider spread of shavers on FMB with The King of Shaves soon, the Azor is available in the US too..so don’t worry!
I hope to post on here pics of those on FMB already confirmed as going
