The King's Speech. A Parody for King of Shaves.

With the fantastic The King's Speech movie up for a raft of Oscars, it was an absolute once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to shoot a Will "King's Speech" parody of the film for British shaving brand, King of Shaves http://www.shave.com of which I'm proud to be the founder.

So, here it is! I really hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed being in it, and that when you've seen it, you might find out a little bit more about us, and how we're challenging the established world shaving order... "So my peoples world-wide can shave better, forever without being charged a King's Ransom for razor blade cartridges!"

"God Shave The King"!

PS: The microphone in our video is the actual microphone used in the film.

Thanks. I also shot a 6 minute version of the actual King's Speech, debating whether to upload that - watch this space!

Your cause ROCKS bro :-))

[kingofshaves]

Thanks! Our mission is to change the face of shaving, world-wide, forever! Shave closer, longer for less with King of Shaves!

Absolutely top-class, witty, well executed, and well scripted.

If I were not heavily bearded, and intending to remain so, I would certainly be buying your product !

All the best

Murray.

An Oscar winning performance if there ever was one!!

With all due respect, Will, I'm not sure this will have done your brand too much good. Unfortunately, this little piece of viral comes across as amateur, poorly scripted and a little too pun-tastic. I'm sure it will get seen by many... but I fear for all the wrong reasons. Expect to see yourself as a star in the worst ads of 2011.

[Chris Kempt]

yeah, go for it! In for a penny... :O)
