Ok, I've added a criticism section (although that might not be the best title for it) with sources. It's a well referenced criticism of the company's financial practices. Now as far as I'm concerned that is the only part of this article which isn't written like an advertisement and I do not have the time to clean it up right now, it's almost all advertising. If IP addresses continue to remove the criticism section of this article without noting their concerns here I will request that this page is protected. This is ridiculous. Great marketing, I have to hand it to them, but ridiculous. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 01:07, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, my name is Will King, King of Shaves CEO/Founder. I have no problem with "our" page being written in a non-advertising manner, but I take strong exception to A) the criticism tag B) the almost universally negative reference to our shaving bond, which you can find out a lot about via my blog at http://blogs.shave.com/king in june 2009 and finally C) the reference re somersets shaving oil, which i simply don't understand as this has no foundation. i will create an account tomorrow, log in myself, amend where i feel suitable and republish. i am as interested to see factual representation re KoS via wikipedia as is anyone.

A) I'm not sure what to do about the criticism tag. It doesn't necessarily seem right but then I can't think of anything better to call that section at the moment. If you can come up with something I would be happy to hear about it. B) Please note that there are almost universally negative references to your shaving bond because negative references to it were published in reliable sources. You can see this from the quotes included in the references at the bottom of the page. There were many more, but I thought two was enough to support the assertion. If you don't feel that this is the case, I will put others in. C) I have asked the IP address who added the references to somersets shaving oil to add sources, or at least explain themselves. They have yet to respond but I am wary about removing the only non-advertising material from this article without giving the editor in question a chance to improve it. Doubly so as most of the article is unsourced.

(As an extra special bonus) D) I will await your edits. I also want a crack at this article when I have the time, so I will probably go in after you and tweak it. I would ask that you not removed the well sourced criticism of the shaving bonds, as this has received a lot of coverage and appears to be important information about the company.
