Michael Phelps is partnering with the ecommerce site, 800 Razors - as both an investor and spokesperson.
The Baltimore-based company sells American-made razors and personal care products. Phelps is a native of Baltimore.
As the most decorated swimmer in Olympic history, Phelps is no stranger to full body hair removal. He says he utilized 800Razors' "The Ultimate Shave" razor in preparation for U.S. Nationals last month, where he posted the fastest times in the world this year in three individual events.
Phelps commented, "As a swimmer, shaving my entire body is necessary for performance. The Ultimate Shave razors and shave cream truly makes a difference in protecting my skin and giving me that close comfortable shave I want and need in and out of the pool."
Phil Masiello, President and CEO of 800razors.com, said, "Michael Phelps has joined 800razors.com as a shareholder and spokesperson because he loved 'The Ultimate Shave' he was getting from using our razors. Michael not only believes in our product, he shares our enthusiasm for creating opportunities for others to succeed. We are committed to helping build back America and are proud to offer American-made products while providing employment opportunities through our affiliation with The Chimes."
800Razors provides employment opportunities for people with developmental disabilities through a fulfillment affiliation with Chimes, a Baltimore-based non-profit that provides a wide variety of services, including vocational training to more than 19,000 people with disabilities throughout the United States. Many of the employees participate in Special Olympics, an organization which Phelps serves as a global ambassador and is also supported by the Michael Phelps Foundation.
