Murray says he should have shaved for Wills & Kate

Posted by Nick Gibbens on June 28, 2011 · Posted in Manly things · Comment 

Andy Murray has tweeted that if he’d known the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were coming to see his match at Wimbledon on Monday, he would have shaved.

Well Andy we did send you a tub of The Bluebeards Revenge shaving cream last Friday so you really have no excuse.

The British number one made light work of his last sixteen encounter with Richard Gasquet on Centre Court, overcoming the talented number 17 seed in straight sets.

But Murray – who sported a beard for the match – admitted on Twitter afterwards that when he met the royal newlyweds, he wasn’t looking his best.

On Twitter, he wrote: “I got to meet the duke and duchess of cambridge today, I was fairly tight as I’d just come off court was sweaty and disheveled, couldn’t have looked less presentable would have at least had a shave if I’d known they were coming! Got rid of the fluff!”

So Andy, we hope you celebrated your excellent win yesterday with a proper shave using The Bluebeards Revenge!

We only ever give a gift of our product to “Real Men”, and we are in no doubt that you qualify as you step up to the plate and carry the hopes of the nation onto court.

Bluebeards Revenge launches ‘Britain’s Manliest Cyclist’ search at Dartmoor Classic

Posted by Nick Gibbens on June 28, 2011 · Posted in Britain's Manliest Cyclist, Press Releases, Shows & Events · Comment 

Leading men’s grooming brand The Bluebeards Revenge took its quest to find Britain’s Manliest Cyclist to the Dartmoor Classic Cyclosportive at Kingsteignton in Devon at the weekend, raising £100 for Shelterbox in the process

DSC02733 300x200 Bluebeards Revenge launches Britains Manliest Cyclist search at Dartmoor Classic

'Blue Birds' Alice Brunt and Zara Robinson (L-R) get to work on a leg shave.

Manly cyclists from across the UK signed up to the competition, which will see the winner becoming the face of The Bluebeards Revenge where they would get the opportunity to star in a TV commercial, receive a Bluebeards Revenge racing jersey, a year’s supply of The Bluebeards Revenge shaving products and have £500 donated to their Club or a charity of their choice.

The company will now shortlist six cyclists, with each going forward to a public vote. The overall winner will be announced on August 15.

“The Bluebeards Revenge is all about a really great shave with a scientifically proven, stubble-reducing ingredient – just perfect for competitive cyclists looking for that extra edge,” said the brand’s marketing manager Justin Bullock.

“Our brand also stands for the less than conventional approach to life, cocking a snoot at the nanny state and the madness that is the balls ache of endless red tape and over the top health and safety clap trap.

“We believe that racing cyclists are real men who emulate the brand’s philosophy of ‘Train Hard, Shave Easy’.”

Cyclists and spectators also had the opportunity to try The Bluebeards Revenge shaving experience and raise money for charity. The Bluebeards Revenge team fielded two very pretty young ladies to shave cyclist’s legs in exchange for a £5 donation to the Shelterbox charity resulting in £100 being raised for this very worthwhile cause.

Have you bought the $100,000 Iridium razor?

Posted by Nick Gibbens on June 22, 2011 · Posted in Manly things, Promotions · Comment 

Yesterday Zafirro announced the launch of the luxurious $100,000 Iridium razor, the world’s first razor with sapphire blades.

It also features a handle made primarily from iridium, one of the rarest and strongest metals in existence.

landing bg 2 300x172 Have you bought the $100,000 Iridium razor?

The pure sapphire blades are atomically sharp and guaranteed to last 10 years

We really want to find out how this luxurious razor handles the world’s manliest shaving cream, The Bluebeards Revenge.

So much so that we are offering everyone who buys an Iridium razor a free tub of our beard-reducing shave cream.

So if you’ve bought one, then please email nick@bluebeards-revenge.co.uk, and we will send you a tub of our cream. All we would want in return is a picture of you shaving with both products and also a 50-word review.

Zafirro says it will only produce 99 of the Iridium line, that’s one for every billionaire.

“In addition to vastly extended blade life, the solid white sapphire blades offer a number of additional advantages over conventional steel blades. They are hypoallergenic, impervious to oxidation and corrosion, and very sharp,” said Zafirro in a statement.

landing bg 5 300x172 Have you bought the $100,000 Iridium razor?

Zafirro Iridium, the world's first razor with sapphire blades

“The sapphire is sharpened using high-energy, ionized particles to create an edge less than 100 atoms in width, 5000 times smaller than the width of a hair.”

The blades include a 10-year guarantee and Zafirro will provide complementary servicing and professional cleaning for Iridium customers, as well as resharpening if necessary.

For more information, visit www.zafirro.com.

But if you haven’t got a spare $100k lying around then you might want to pick an alternative razor such as The Bluebeards Revenge “Scimitar” Double Edge Razor.

It doesn’t have sapphire blades but it will slice through the manliest of stubble.

Please note that we are in no way associated with Zafirro and they are not endorsing The Bluebeards Revenge. We just want someone to test out our cream with the word’s most exclusive and expensive razor.

The Bluebeards Revenge Seeks ‘Manly’ Charity to Support in 2012

Posted by Nick Gibbens on June 21, 2011 · Posted in Press Releases · Comment 

Leading British male grooming brand The Bluebeards Revenge has began the search for a charity to support in 2012.

Since its launch in the summer of 2010, the Devon based company has supported Firefighters charities but is looking to diversify next year, as marketing and PR Manager Nick Gibbens explains: “The Bluebeards Revenge set out its stall from launch to be the manliest male grooming brand on the shelves of the world’s retailers.

”From the outset we wanted to support a charity that represented our core values of rugged manliness and the Firefighters charity was a perfect match but it would seem to be time to move on.”

“We were always of the view that we would look to share our success with a variety of charities giving each one a two-year period to benefit from a partnership with our rapidly growing brand.”

But Nick is also keen to point out that they are going to be picky when it comes to selecting a charity to support.

“We make no bones about it – we are a brand that appeals to ‘Real Men’ and are looking to support a charity that reflects our brand values and benefits people with some proper get up and go!

”If there are any charities out there who think that they fit the bill then they really should get in touch so we can include them in the selection process.

“We are also looking for a hard working, innovative charity partner with fresh ideas. We are even prepared to put their logo on the iconic Bluebeards Revenge box.”

Charities looking for sponsorship should visit http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/charity and register their details.

Applications are accepted until September 01, 2011. A short-list of up to five charities will be selected and invited to attend a formal pitch presentation in Plymouth, Devon. The winning charity will be announced in early October.

Designed by a real life Blue Beard who was bored to death with being a Desperate Dan look-alike, the flagship product in The Bluebeards Revenge range is a paraben free, premium quality shaving cream with added ingredients like Decelerine™ to specifically reduce hair growth and combat tough stubble.

Notes to Editors

The Bluebeards Revenge, which uses totally recyclable packaging, is suitable for vegetarians, and is paraben free. A donation from every tub goes directly to the UK’s two most important charities supporting injured firefighters, The Firefighters Charity and Operation Florian. .

The shaving cream contains Decelerine™, a unique ingredient that targets hair follicle cells and weakens new hair formation. It has proved to be effective in inhibiting hair growth, decreasing length and density of unwanted hair and also providing a soothing, moisturising and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.

As well as slowing down beard re-growth, Decelerine™ relieves and soothes the effects of shaving (especially skin prone to irritation and dryness) by providing moisturisation and protection to facilitate its regeneration.
