"We are excited to announce this relationship with Dennis because he's a loyal Shavewise user and believes in our mission to change lives by making shaving great again!" said Greg Ward, founder of Shavewise. "Research has shown that attractive, well groomed people earn more over a lifetime. Certain careers and vocations require a clean-shaven face. Shavewise™ enables men to start their day with a great shave that feels good and helps them look their best. Dennis understands how life-changing that can be for a person. So he's the perfect person to promote the brand and help sign other celebrities who want to be a part of this movement to change lives."
Dennis Scott is an NBA legend and current TV and Radio Analyst for Turner Sports (NBA-TV) and TNT. He spent the majority of his 10-year NBA career with the Orlando Magic, earning All-Rookie Team honors and helping the team win an Eastern Conference Championship. Scott held the NBA's record for the most three-pointers made in a season with 267 for nine years. He spent time with Orlando, Phoenix, Dallas, New York, Minnesota and the former Vancouver Grizzlies franchise. Scott also hosts a late-night show on 790, called "3-D's After Dark," and is the former General Manager of the American Basketball Association's Atlanta Vision.
"One of the things that most resonates with me about Shavewise is its passion for teaching young men about a great shave -- that you don't have to live with irritation, that good grooming habits are part of staying healthy, and that being well groomed gives you a better chance at landing that dream job," notes Scott.
