King of Shaves Launches Hyperglide: A Razor Revolution.
New York, New York (PRWEB) February 03, 2014 -- INNOVATION
After four years of research and development, Founder and CEO Will King announces a razor that uses advanced superhydrophilic (‘super water loving’) advanced technology on the cartridge’s entire shaving surface to create its own ‘HydroGel’ so users can ‘just add water’ and shave. This amazing innovation was originally developed by a UK university tech spin-out for use in the medical device industry, to aid the easy insertion of catheters into arteries with minimal invasive friction.
REVOLUBETION
The Hyperglide ‘smart-cartridge’ makes lube strips (a feature of all men’s system razor cartridges since 1976) instantly obsolete. It also makes styling and detailing beards and goatees a breeze with a detailing / edge trimming blade. A simple patented cartridge ejection mechanism plus redesigned open architecture blade rack (with even narrower blades) means this is truly the ‘King of Blades’.
Note: All other men’s razors ideally need a shave prep, including those manufactured by Bic, Gillette (P&G) and Schick Wilkinson Sword (Energizer) as well as those sold by shaving “clubs” such as Dollar Shave and Harry’s. Of course, you can also continue to use an amazing King of Shaves shaving oil, gel or serum to further increase shave comfort and cartridge life.
Hyperglide is designed and made in the UK and has multiple patents granted and pending.
CEO STATEMENT
“Launching Hyperglide is an iPhone moment for us” says King. “Competitor razors require a shave prep – gel, foam or cream – to deliver a comfortable and close shave whereas with Hyperglide, water does the hard work.
I view our competitors as stuck in the ‘mechanical button phone’ era – pressing on with the old, whilst we pioneer the new – ‘just add water and shave’. It’s taken four years and $8.2m investment to develop and perfect this technology, which is a genuine shaving world first.”
RETAIL DETAIL
King of Shaves Hyperglide launches in January 2014, and will be available exclusively in the USA priced at $12.49 for a handle with one cartridge and $12.49 for 3 cartridge replacement pack. Hyperglide will also be available online at shave.com, King of Shaves’ global brand site.
QUEEN OF SHAVES
Yes! Hyperglide works just as well for women who shave too (even though it’s not pink and nor does it smell of strawberries)! It delivers an amazingly comfortable and close shave on legs and underarms. After all ladies, you don’t drive a pastel pink car, do you?
