Diane Wood, King of Shaves Master Barber. Click to view her Blog.

King of Shaves professional Master Barber, Diane Wood, is on a global mission to make shaving sexy by starring as Barbarella X in our latest advert. The beautifully styled viral ad features one lucky guy, a barber’s chair and sexy Barbarella X as she performs the ultimate sexy shave, dressed in Myla lingerie and YSL killer heels.

US born Diane, who is based in our New York office, became a star on US Network TV after shaving chat show host David Letterman’s beard live on his show. She also shaved Capital FM breakfast show host Johnny Vaughan in 2008, raising tens of thousands of pounds for Help A London Child, and more recently, the entire Wasps rugby team.

The 90 second viral is set to a dramatic remix of Carmen by Melissa Hammond.

Diane said:

Will King, King of Shaves founder, asked me what the ultimate shaving ad might look like, and this is it! Shaving has traditionally been functional and, well, a bit boring. I thought it was time to change that, with the ultimate shave – seductive, stylish and sexy!”



The viral ad was written in-house and styled / art-directed by London start-up agencies SSKA and Tiger’s Eye. It debuts 19th July 2010 exclusively on the King of Shaves YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/kingofshaves and at www.facebook.com/kingofshaves.
