King of Shaves Azor Awarded Which? Magazine 'Best Buy' (original blog posting)
Nicky
was emailed about the above today, and I was delighted
to browse Which? magazine's online website, and find that our King of
Shaves Azor has been awarded 'Best Buy'
status by the UK's leading unbiased consumer product magazine. No
mention of Wilkinson Sword or Gillette Fusion Manual, the other razors
rated were Gillette Fusion Power (handle £9.99 versus our £4.99,
cartridges £2.50 versus our £1.25) and the 11 year old Mach3.
Here's what Which? had to say:
----------------------------------------
71% King of Shaves Azor £4.88
The four-blade Azor from King of Shaves looks more like a tuning fork than a razor but it delivers a close and comfortable shave at a reasonable price. Rather than a pivoting head, the Azor reaches the nooks and crannies of your face by the blade cartridge being fitted to a flexible rubber head, a bit like a bendy-toothbrush. It comes with three replacement blades. There is a version in black (Warp), white (Pola) and limited-edition red (Rari).
And, perhaps most tellingly of all, Which? made the following comments:
--------------------------------------
The costs of using a shaving system
Replacing the blade cartridges for a shaving system can be expensive and, unlike printer cartridges, you won't be able to find cheap unbranded blades to attach to big-name razors. Manufacturers are keen to protect their razor-innovations and Gillette have 70 patents on the Fusion alone.
We found that the six shaving systems we tested had similar durability, but there were striking differences in cost.
For example, when we checked, the Azor from King of Shaves was half
the price of the Gillette Fusion Power Stealth and came with three
replacement blades, while the Power Stealth came with one. And buying a
pack of four replacement blades for the Azor was half the price as well.

FANTASTIC RESULT!
King of Shaves Azor, British Brand, British Designed, Choose The New Best!
Despite
Wilkinson Sword once again selling their razors at half price (never
the blades) and the new Gillette Phenom being £6.99, £3 off the purchase price
of £9.99 (but still £2 more than the Azor), I was delighted to hear from Lloyd in Wales today, with the
following comment regarding the KoS Azor:
"Hello Mr.King
Just contacting you to congratulate you on producing such an amazing razor, at such amazing prices. Knocks Gillette off the shelf. Also i am a number one fan of your shave gels, face washes and moisturisers, they are simply the best on the market at an amazing price.
I have recently seen one of your fog free mirrors in a bundle deal on a website. Where could i get one in my area on it's own? Would you be able to post one out if possible?
Congratulations again for creating such wonderful products, and all the best in the future".
Lloyd, we'll get a fog free mirror in the post to you. I'm also delighted to see Tesco in Amersham out of stock of our AlphaGels - they'll be back in stock soon!
King of Shaves Azor - the razor Apple would have been designed...! (original blog posting)
Hi
there, apologies to all of you who follow this blog and for the lack of
posts these past two weeks, but I've been on a whirlwind round the
world trip, arriving back this morning having taken in Japan, LA and
NYC.
Phew! A busy trip, with too many time-zones in too short a time, but got a 'lot done'!
And i was delighted to read this post (and link to it) today, as this totally sums up our approach to the Azor. Many thanks!
PS - our new Azor Rari is now available at Boots and online at KMIshop.com
