Tom Scharpling of Arts & Sciences directed this tongue-in-cheek video which is part of razor company Harry’s initiative creating a holiday for men, National Shave Day (December 1).
To mark the occasion and raise awareness of it, Harry’s and Droga 5 created this humorous send-up of that difficult shaving moment of truth as a man prepares to shave his moustache. He looks in the mirror and sees his hairy alter ego, a character unto himself. The confrontation underscores the fact that there’s no easy way to shave goodbye.
In addition to the film, Harry’s has created a dedicated microsite (www.nationalshaveday.com) and is partnering with local barbershops and boutiques across the country to give out free shaves and limited edition Harry’s razors to mustachioed guys across the country on National Shave Day.
