			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>London Wasps star alongside supermodel Katie Green in grooming brand’s ‘Train Hard Shave Easy’ commercial</h3>
<p>London Wasps can now add the title of the UK’s best-groomed rugby team to its growing list of achievements after starring in a shaving commercial for leading men’s grooming brand The Bluebeards Revenge.</p>
<div id="attachment_1611" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><a href="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/london-wasps-bluebeards-commercial1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1611" title="london-wasps-bluebeards-commercial1" src="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/london-wasps-bluebeards-commercial1-250x300.jpg" alt="london wasps bluebeards commercial1 250x300 Smooth shaving & tough tackling for London Wasps" width="250" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Supermodel Katie Green holding a tub of The Blueebards Revenge - Photo by www.ejpj.co.uk</p></div>
<p>The former European champions play the lead role in a ‘Train Hard Shave Easy’ advert for the eye-catching brand.</p>
<p>The stylish commercial sees Wasps players Charlie Davies, Simon McIntyre and Mitch Tamiau put through their paces by a demanding fitness coach, played by British supermodel Katie Green.</p>
<p>It ends with the gorgeous Katie giving Charlie a very close shave using the brand’s luxury shaving products.<br />
Katie, a former face of top lingerie brands Wonder Bra and Ultimo, said: &#8221;It was an honour to star in The Bluebeards Revenge/London Wasps commercial. Not only do I think it&#8217;s the manliest grooming range on the planet, I&#8217;ve felt the amazing results and it gets my approval!&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_1612" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 280px"><a href="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/london-wasps-bluebeards-commercial3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1612" title="london-wasps-bluebeards-commercial3" src="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/london-wasps-bluebeards-commercial3-270x300.jpg" alt="london wasps bluebeards commercial3 270x300 Smooth shaving & tough tackling for London Wasps" width="270" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mitch Tamiau likes to train hard and shave easy - Photo by www.ejpj.co.uk</p></div>
<p>Justin Bullock, PR and Marketing Manager for The Bluebeards Revenge, expressed his delight with the finished article.</p>
<p>He said: “The Bluebeards Revenge search high and low to find the toughest athletes to star in our ‘Train Hard, Shave Easy’ commercials.  London Wasps were ideally suited with their team of ultimately macho professionals that train to the limit of human strength and endurance.</p>
<p>“Rugby is not only regarded as a tough and ultimately macho sport, but it’s also one of the most respected worldwide. A sport where men will be men and there is no room for rolling on the ground after tripping on your shoe laces. It fits absolutely perfectly with The Bluebeards Revenge brand.</p>
<p>“Katie, as the ultimate coach, was stunning as usual and she shows that real beauty is not about being a size zero.”</p>
<p>Charlie Davies, Wasps scrum half, added: “It was great getting put through our paces by Katie and the Bluebeards, and a close shave after a hard days training had me looking sharp on and off the pitch.”</p>
<div id="attachment_1613" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/london-wasps-bluebeards-commercial4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1613" title="london-wasps-bluebeards-commercial4" src="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/london-wasps-bluebeards-commercial4-225x300.jpg" alt="london wasps bluebeards commercial4 225x300 Smooth shaving & tough tackling for London Wasps" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Wasps scrum half Charlie Davies enjoys a close shave - Photo by Elizabeth Wainwright</p></div>
<p>London Wasps will face Newcastle Falcons in the last game of the Aviva Premiership, the eagerly anticipated match is sure to be a must see game with everyone at The Bluebeards Revenge cheering the boys on.</p>
<p>“We’re encouraging everyone to do what they can to be at one of the biggest games in history for London Wasps!” said Justin.</p>
<p>The game on May 5th against Newcastle kicks off at 14.00. To secure your place call 0844 225 2990.</p>

<p>The Bluebeards Revenge &#8220;Scimitar&#8221; Double Edge Razor has been named the winner in the About.com 2012 Readers&#8217; Choice Award for best wet shaving razor.</p>
<p>The iconic razor beat off competition from Gillette’s Fusion ProGlide and the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 to scoop the coveted first prize.</p>
<p>Nick Gibbens, The Bluebeards Revenge’s PR and Marketing Manager, said: “We are truly honoured to win such a prestigious award. To beat the world’s biggest two shaving brands is a massive achievement and something we are extremely proud of.</p>
<div id="attachment_1600" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/shop/The-Bluebeards-Revenge-Scimitar-Double-Edge-Razor.html"><img src="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/SHBBRSCIMClose-300x300.jpg" alt="SHBBRSCIMClose 300x300 Bluebeards Scimitar named worlds best razor by About.com readers" title="SHBBRSCIMClose" width="225" height="225" class="size-medium wp-image-1600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The &#039;Scimitar&#039; is laser etched with The Bluebeards Revenge logo</p></div>
<p>“It’s also nice to see that people voted for a traditional single bladed safety razor over a multi-bladed cartridge system. Hopefully this shows that times are changing and men are turning their backs on expensive cartridge razors and investing in a shaving solution that provides a much closer shave and is cheaper in the long run.</p>
<p>“I would like to thank everyone who voted for us.”</p>
<p>The ‘Scimitar’ is a totally stunning, bespoke, German engineered double edged razor. It’s designed to cut through the manliest of stubble.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, The Bluebeards Revenge’s beard reducing shaving cream took second place in the best shaving cream category.</p>

<p>Now in its fifth year, the Readers&#8217; Choice Awards honour the world’s best products, features and services across more than a dozen categories, ranging from technology to hobbies to parenting and men’s grooming, as selected by its readers.</p>
<p>In January, the site&#8217;s readers were asked to nominate their favourite shaving cream brands and aftershave products. After a nomination period that saw a flurry of activity, three finalists were chosen in each category.  From February  18 through March 21, 2012, readers cast tens of thousands of votes every day via the About.com website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Russell Crowe-led swords-and-sandals epic edges out Die Hard, while Bruce Willis named world’s manliest actor in new survey</h3>
<p>Ridley Scott’s epic 2000 blockbuster Gladiator has been crowned the manliest movie of all time.</p>
<div id="attachment_1594" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 308px"><a href="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/gladiator.jpg"><img src="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/gladiator-298x300.jpg" alt="gladiator 298x300 Gladiator crowned manliest movie of all time " title="gladiator" width="298" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-1594" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Still of Russell Crowe and Djimon Hounsou in Gladiator</p></div>
<p>The film, starring Russell Crowe, picked up 20% of the public vote in a survey organised by luxury grooming brand The Bluebeards Revenge.</p>
<p>Die Hard 1 took second place on 12%, with The Godfather third on 11% and Commando a close fourth on 9%.</p>
<p>Bruce Willis, famous for playing New York cop John McClane in the legendary Die Hard series, was named the world’s manliest actor in the British survey of 1,845 people.</p>
<p>The German-born American actor secured a whopping 28% of the public vote, easily defeating his nearest rival, Crowe, who finished on 16%.</p>
<p>Rocky star Sylvester Stallone was third on 13%, with Daniel Craig fourth on 8% and Jason Statham fifth on 7%.</p>
<p>Nick Gibbens, spokesperson for The Bluebeards Revenge, said: “Gladiator will go down in history as one of the greatest films ever produced. The film was nominated for and won multiple awards, particularly five Academy Awards in the 73rd Academy Awards including Best Picture. It’s certainly a deserving winner of the coveted title ‘world’s manliest move’.</p>
<p>“Bruce Willis is what we like to call a ‘real man’ and is loved around the globe for his ‘manly’ roles in the likes of Die Hard, The Sixth Sense, The Fifth Element, Hostage, 16 Blocks and Armageddon.”</p>
<p>In Gladiator, Crowe plays the great Roman general Maximus, who is betrayed when the Emperor&#8217;s ambitious son, Commodus, murders his father and seizes the throne. Forced to enter slavery after narrowly escaping death himself, Maximus is determined to exact revenge by returning as a gladiator.</p>
<p>The film, which featured the late Oliver Reed and Joaquin Phoenix, has been a massive box office success, taking $458m globally (up until February 28, 2012). It cost a reported $103m to produce.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Devon-based Bluebeards Revenge stockist is celebrating this week after being crowned the UK&#8217;s youngest shopkeeper.</p>
<p>Lucie Balchin, 17, opened The Crazy Cow gift shop in Modbury on October 1 last year &#8211; only 10 days after her 17th birthday.</p>
<p>Days after opening her shop she decided the local male population needed a ‘manly’ grooming range so she put her first Bluebeards order in.</p>
<div id="attachment_1584" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 261px"><a href="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/LucieBalchin.jpg"><img src="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/LucieBalchin.jpg" alt="LucieBalchin Bluebeards stockist crowned UKs youngest shopkeeper" title="LucieBalchin" width="251" height="269" class="size-full wp-image-1584" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Lucie Balchin is a proud stockist of The Bluebeards Revenge</p></div>
<p>When we learnt of Lucie’s tender age, we carried out research to determine if Lucie was in fact Britain&#8217; youngest shop owner.</p>
<p>And now the British Independent Retailers Consortium has confirmed that Lucie is now the proud owner of the coveted title.</p>
<p>The record was previously held by Young Apprentice star Zoe Plummer, who established a fashion and clothing business before turning eighteen last October.</p>
<p>Lucie has gone on to become something of a media sensation, with the <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2111572/Lucie-Balchin-17-crowned-UKs-youngest-shopkeeper.html?ITO=1490" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a> and The Sun newspapers covering the story.</p>
<p>The former Kingsbridge Community College student has also given an interview to BBC Radio 5 Live and will grace the One Show this evening.</p>
<p>And all before her 18th Birthday&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bulldog edges out the Rottweiler to take the coveted titled of world’s manliest dog</strong></p>
<p>The English Bulldog has been voted the world’s manliest dog, in a new survey by leading men’s grooming brand The Bluebeards Revenge.</p>
<p>The iconic breed picked up a fifth of the public vote (20%), with the Rottweiler second on 18% and the German Shepard third on 12%.</p>
<p>At the other end of the ‘manliness dog scale’, the Chihuahua (37%) was named the least manly dog on the planet, followed by the Poodle (19%) and the Pug (9%).</p>
<p>Nick Gibbens, spokesperson for The Bluebeards Revenge, said: “The English Bulldog is certainly what you would describe as a ‘real man’s dog’ and is a deserving winner of the title ‘world’s manliest dog’.</p>
<div id="attachment_1577" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/english-bulldog.jpg"><img src="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/english-bulldog-300x297.jpg" alt="english bulldog 300x297 English Bulldog voted manliest dog on the planet" title="english-bulldog" width="300" height="297" class="size-medium wp-image-1577" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The English Bulldog has been crowned the world&#039;s manliest dog. Agree?</p></div>
<p>“Our brand is marketed as the world’s manliest grooming range as it’s designed for men with tough stubble. We would like to think that we stand for everything that is masculine in today’s society, which was why we set out to crown planet Earth’s most manly dog.</p>
<p>“A dog is also a man’s best friend so it seemed like a match made in heaven.”</p>
<p>Other dogs in the “manly” top 12 include the Great Dane, Rhodesian Ridgeback and Irish Setter.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Maltese, Dachshund and the Shih Tzu all finished in the feminine top 10.</p>
<p>The Bulldog, also known as &#8216;Bulldog&#8217; or &#8216;British Bulldog&#8217;, is a very well built and stocky breed for its size. They are well known for their wrinkles on their face.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>North American media is reporting that Hulk Hogan will shave off his legendary moustache for a &#8220;couple million bucks&#8221;.</p>
<p>The former WWE wrestler revealed a few days ago that he was considering losing his iconic facial hair to boost his movie career.</p>
<div id="attachment_1557" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/616px-Hulk_Hogan.jpg"><img src="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/616px-Hulk_Hogan-300x292.jpg" alt="616px Hulk Hogan 300x292 Bluebeards challenges Hulk Hogan to a shave off" title="616px-Hulk_Hogan" width="300" height="292" class="size-medium wp-image-1557" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hulk is famous for his legendary &#039;Mo&#039;. Image taken from http://www.dod.mil/news/Aug2005/20050822_2505.html</p></div>
<p>Since making the revelation, the 58-year-old star has been contacted by a number of leading grooming companies who want to pay to film him making the cut.</p>
<p>And we can officially announce that we are throwing our dark blue hat into the ring. Hulk is what we like to call a Real Man, someone who fears nothing and will go that extra mile to achieve his goals and aspirations.</p>
<p>The Hulkster embraces everything the Bluebeards represents &#8211; he stands for the less than conventional approach to life, cocking a snoot at the nanny state and the madness that is the bureaucratic balls ache of endless red tape and over the top health and safety clap trap.</p>
<p>Hulk showed these qualities at Wrestlemania 3 when he body slammed the 520lb Andre the Giant, a feat which has never been surpassed.</p>
<p><iframe width="495" height="365" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AeJmWpvhlDE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>But Hulk if you would rather shave your ‘Mo’ off with a tin of fluffy super market foam or perhaps some super expensive, designer label concoction more akin to face cream than a shaving preparation for real men, then we will understand.</p>
<p>However, we feel you need a shaving solution that is designed for a ‘real men’. So the question remains, Hulk, are you man enough for Bluebeards? Please let us know?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>World Cup winner Phil Vickery puts his weight behind unique on-pack male cancer awareness campaign</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_1551" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 297px"><a href="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bbr100-orchid-open.jpg"><img src="http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bbr100-orchid-open-287x300.jpg" alt="bbr100 orchid open 287x300 Bluebeards launch mens cancer awareness drive after survey reveals quarter of UK men never check testes" title="bbr100-orchid-open" width="287" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-1551" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">All Bluebeards Revenge packaging feature potentially life saving advice for men on the insides of the cartons.</p></div>
<p>The Bluebeards Revenge have joined forces with charity Orchid to launch an innovative on-pack campaign to educate men on the three uniquely male cancers &#8211; and it has the backing of 2003 Rugby World Cup winner Phil “The Raging Bull” Vickery.</p>
<p>The iconic grooming brand’s eye-catching packaging will feature potentially life saving advice for men on the inside of all its cartons.</p>
<p>It will encourage men to be aware of the early signs and symptoms of the three male specific cancers &#8211; testicular, penile and prostate – so they can seek advice from a GP as early as possible.</p>
<p>The campaign has been launched after a survey commissioned by Orchid revealed that three quarters of UK men (73%) recognise that a lump in the testes could be a sign of testicular cancer – but 25% still never check their testes.</p>
<p>The survey of 824 UK adults aged 16 and over, carried out by leading market research agency GfK NOP, also found that nearly one in three (30%) are not even aware they can check themselves for lumps. This is in stark contrast to women, who are more likely to take their health in their own hands &#8211; only 7% of them say they don’t check their breasts.</p>
<p>Phil said he was delighted to put his weight behind the campaign. The former England prop explained: “Male cancers don’t receive enough coverage and awareness and far too many men aren’t proactive enough in seeking help if they have any concerns. That’s why I’m backing Orchid’s awareness messages on The Bluebeards Revenge product range to promote life-saving checks and to encourage men to stand up and take action.”</p>

<p>Rebecca Porta, Chief Executive of Orchid, said: “We are delighted to be working with The Bluebeards Revenge for 2012. This is a wonderful opportunity to encourage men across the UK to take a pro-active approach to their health and general well-being whilst raising funds and awareness of Orchid and male cancer.”</p>
<p>David Hildrew, Managing Director at The Bluebeards Revenge, added: “Our range is all about providing a great shave but we are also taking on the added responsibility of educating men on the early symptoms and signs of testicular, penile and prostate cancer. We are encouraging men to think inside their box.”</p>
<p>The unique awareness campaign will be rolled out across the UK over the next few months.</p>
<p>Formed in 1996 by former testicular cancer patient, Colin Osborne, Orchid is the only UK registered cancer charity to focus entirely on the male-specific cancers; prostate, penile and testicular.</p>
<p>They offer support and information to people affected by or interested in male cancer through a dedicated medical research programme, education and awareness campaigns and a range of support services.</p>

<p><strong>Notes to Editors</strong></p>
<p>The research above was carried out by leading market research agency, GfK NOP, which interviewed 824 UK adults aged 16 and over in the UK, between 19-24 March 2009.</p>

<p><strong>About Orchid</strong></p>
<p>Orchid is the UK’s only registered charity focused exclusively on male-specific cancers. Formed in 1996 by a testicular cancer patient, Orchid exists to save men’s lives from testicular, prostate, and penile cancers through pioneering research, the provision of specialist information and support, campaigns and raising awareness. </p>

<p><strong>About male cancer</strong></p>
<p>Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer and kills 1 man an hour in the UK equating to 10,000 men p.a. Affecting men mainly over the age of 65, in nearly ½ of cases the disease will have spread before diagnosis making it far harder to treat.</p>
<p>Testicular cancer is the most common cancer amongst young men aged 15-45 and affects 2,000 men p.a. If caught early enough it has a cure rate of over 95% and yet in over 1/3 cases the disease will have spread before diagnosis.</p>
<p>Penile cancer, though mercifully rarer – less than 400 cases p.a., also affects men mainly over the age of 60 although there are younger cases. Sadly 1 in 4 men with penile cancer will not survive.</p>
