Will King
Founder of King of Shaves
Will
King is the founder of shaving company King of Shaves. He was made
redundant in the early nineties from his job with the marketing agency
Fountainhead Communications and had always experienced problems with
shaving. In 1992 he created a shaving oil product that eased the pain,
rash and burn he experience during shaving.King approached Harrods, the London department store, and secured the personal agreement of owner Mohamed Al-Fayed to stock the new product. He then hand-filled 9,600 bottles in his kitchen, using a "gunk pump" given to him by a friend in the yacht business.
The King of Shaves brand has overtaken Wilkinson Sword and Nivea to become number two to Gillette in the shaving prep market in the UK, and the products are also taking off in the US.
