We've been here today with Gillette.
And like I said, it is an honor for me to be bringing out this new tool on
part of Gillette.
Gillette has gone into a partnership with barbers.
They're not just selling us anything.
They're going into a partnership with barbers.
And what they have come up with is a personal grooming kit that is for your
clients in between their services.
Now, let's give a couple of situations where you may need
this particular tool.
I was actually traveling.
I was out at Chicago for a show, but I wasn't doing any barbering work.
I was out there working on some other freelance stuff.
I actually left my shaver, my Andis shaver.
I left it at home.
What I ended up having to do was go to a department store and buy a little
pair of cheap clippers.
But if I would have had this option to have this Styler, it
would have been perfect.
So that's why I am very adamant, and I am pushing this particular personal
grooming tool.
It is not a tool to replace any professional barber tool.
It is a tool that you can have for your clients as a choice.
Now, I mentioned earlier, I had a young man that I've been cutting his
hair since he was, like, three years old.
Well, BJ is about 17 or 18 now.
And he went through this actual phase of facial hair.
And they wanted to know, what could he use?
So at that particular time, this tool was not out.
But now that this tool is out, BJ is on his way to college, and he will
need a personal grooming tool that I recommend that he use.
Now, the reason I recommend this particular tool is because I
understand the sensitivity of BJ as an ethnic male, and the
sensitivity of his skin.
I could not shave with a razor until about six months ago.
I actually use the Fusion Power.
Well, this is actually the same head that's on the Fusion Power.
So I did not bump up.
I have tried to use a regular single-layer shaver, and my face just
went to heck.
So what I'm going to be doing today is just introducing this tool to you and
some of the multiuses of it.
This is three-in-one styling tool.
So if you will allow me, I'm going to go ahead.
And this is Angelo.
Angelo is our second model that I'm going to be demonstrating this
particular tool with.
Today, I'm going to be using the clear gel.
This is the clear gel.
It does not foam up like traditional gels because it allows you to be able
to see your work surface.
And so you can make crisp lines.
It doesn't take a lot of product at all.
And I'm going to actually show you just how.
And he has a little shadow.
He's a student.
And what are you majoring in, Angelo?
Social work.
So Angelo is a social worker.
So Angelo doesn't have a whole lot of time each morning to get into shaving.
Because that's a daunting task sometimes, that guys don't want to
have to shave.
What do I use?
Is there something quick and easy?
So I'm going to just actually demonstrate just how fast and easy it
is to use this three-in-one Styler.
And I'm just going to use a fair amount of the clear gel.
Doesn't take a whole lot of product.
And we're going to give Angelo a complete shave.
We're just going to leave a mustache.
And what I do is I don't put a whole lot of product all
over his whole face.
I just break the face in half.
And I just shave the right side, and then I move to the left side.
And that's actually some things you can do.
I'm also a teacher.
And some of the students used to go ahead and put all the product on the
whole face.
Well, they weren't fast enough to get into the whole service.
So that's when I tell them, just break the face in half.
Do the right side, and do the left side.
So as I said, this is the same blade that comes on the Fusion Power.
Get how the Styler glides across the face.
And notice how it contours the neckline.
Now, if you're doing a conventional shave or a traditional shave, this is
areas 4 and 5.
But watch how the tool itself just actually connects the
two sections, bam!
The head actually swivels and contours the head shape.
And I'm just going to do a once-over.
A once-over is just where I may see any little spots or any hairs, I just
come back behind that area.
That's a once-over for those who are familiar with shaving.
Now, this is a start.
And I'm going to show you how I'm going to complete this once I move to
the left side.
I'm going to show you the other advantages of this particular tool.
Just glide it across the skin-- no nicks, no cuts.
The skin is just as smooth as it want to be.
I'll go to the opposite side.
Again, I'm going to apply a moderate amount of product.
Don't take a lot of product.
The ProGlide Styler.
This tool is designed to assist barbers in maintaining their clients'
in-between services.
It is not a tool designed to replace any professional tool.
Notice how the Glider adjusts to the contour of the face shape?
Just going to look at my work surface, make sure I don't see
any particular hairs.
I'm going to check it out.
Then I'm going to show you a second feature on the Styler.
I'm using one tool to do his complete service.
Detach the head of this particular Styler.
Now, I'm going to show you another feature of the Styler.
I'm going to shape his mustache, just the outer perimeter.
Again, using one tool.
I have a start, and then I have a finish.
If you take the Styler, this is the front of the Styler.
If you take the Styler and turn in into reverse, this is a straight edge.
You could take the back of the Styler and actually make precision lines.
I've only used one tool.
Now, his shave is complete.
This eliminates the daunting task of getting up and having to go through
the changes of shaving.
He is done.
This is Angelo.
This concludes this particular demonstration.
We have another demonstration on the hour.
