We Want You To Star In Our First Ad Campaign!
Do You Fancy Appearing In Our Promotional Video?
We thought it was time to create a promotional advert for the Shavedoctor brand and we want you to appear in our very first video at a secret location to be filmed sometime in September 2010.
We are looking for approximately 75 males and 75 females ideally aged between 18 and 45 and be available on location for most of the day's filming schedule.
There are no appearance fees however we will be running a competition on the day for you to be in with a chance of winning some Shavedeoctor goodies and a momentum of the day and of course your face will be seen by thousands on the internet.
All you have to do is register your details on the Shavedoctor website and then once you have done that just click the 'facebook' link on our homepage and become a fan.
Once you have done this then you will be continually updated with news on when the video will be filmed and when you will be required if you are one of the lucky chosen ones.
Good luck and we hope to see you on location soon.
Best Wishes
Shavedoctor Team

Spliiting Hairs by: Justin Miles, Explorer
Hello!
My life seems to be getting more and more ‘weird’ as time goes on. Can you believe that at the grand old age of 36 (I’m desperately holding on to that number for at least another few days!) I’ve just had my first ever shaving lesson?
John and I were sat one evening debating the pros and cons of shaving on an expedition (I know, we talk about such important issues!) when our attention turned to discussing the most efficient way to shave. A quick search on ‘google’ turned up the ‘Shave Doctor’ Mark Sproston and a call seeking advice was made (I know, I can’t believe I did it either). Quite surprisingly Mark answered the call, we had a quick chat, then he offered me the chance to hook up with him for a shaving lesson. A shaving lesson? I thought for a close shave you just press the blade against your skin and scrape hard!
When I turned up at Label Mens Grooming Salon in Stoke-on-Trent (if you ever get the chance to call in, you won’t regret it) I had no idea that there was so much science involved with shaving! Mark talked me through the history of shaving; the barbers pole ‘blood and bandages’ to signify the presence of a guy who would cut you open, pull out teeth, cut hair and give you a shave; the fact that Gillette set the standard for the angle of the cutting blade at 30 degrees around 109 years ago and LOADS more fascinating facts. Next I learnt all about skin types, growth, the theory behind the perfect shave, then we got to work on a very nervous but somewhat trusting model called Rob.
Rob laid back in the chair and prepared himself for the worst. First I applied a facial scrub, then a hot towel, next was oil, then the shave crème (applied with a brush), then Mark handed me the razor – an mischievous looking cut throat! I wasn’t nervous at all as I approached Robs face with the blade, but his face in the newspaper photographs says it all! Check out http://tinyurl.com/yetfgyl John’s up next... if I can catch him!
By the end of the day I’d shaved a few people with not one mistake. It was a different story when I tried it on myself in the mirror though – lets just say that plastic surgery isn’t my forte! All of the superb shaving products were supplied by Mark through his company http://shavedoctor.co.uk/ and are available to buy on line (did that sound like my first ever sales pitch or what?!). We thank Justin for his kind contribution to our weekly Blog..we hope it wasn't too painful after training...
ShaveDoctor Sponsors Great Cause
THE LAST GREAT CHALLENGE: The ShaveDoctor recently visited a grooming lounge to train people for a charity challenge.
The ShaveDoctor visited newly-opened Label Professional Male Grooming Lounge in Hanley to teach two men the art of wet shaving.
Mr Sproston aka The ShaveDoctor, has trained people all over the world how to carry out a traditional shave from teaching hair and beauty professionals to showing Joe Public how to shave properly in their own bathrooms..
John Wilton-Davies and Justin Miles, from Exeter are raising funds for the British Heart Foundation in November by setting off on an expedition to reach the South Pole and return fully unsupported, something not attempted to since Captain Scott all those years ago!
They will be shaving every 3 -4 days in extreme freezing conditions with the ShaveDoctor products that will be warmed up to temperatures of around -10 using the camping stoves in their well equipped tent, the products have been tested at around this temperature already and they still perform incredibly offering a comfortable and brilliant close shave.
Shaun Robson, manager of Label in Town Road, said the fund-raisers approached The ShaveDoctor to teach them the art of wet shaving so they could do it en route.
Mr Robson, who uses The ShaveDoctor products at his business and are official stockists, offered his premises as a training base.
He said: "I felt it an honour to be able to support."
Pictured right is what faces the 2 men in November and the scenery will hardly change over 77 days of trekking in -30 conditions..
