Olympian Kyle Chalmers fronts campaign for razor company Wahl

Electric razor company Wahl has launched a new campaign starring Olympic swimmer Kyle Chalmers.

Part of the campaign includes a search for Australia’s “craziest lockdown beard”, with the prize being $2,500 worth of Wahl products.

The 60-second spot sees Chalmers going out to race before talking to his coach, only to come back to reveal he got silver “by a hair”. It is then revealed that if he had used a Wahl product, the Waterpool Stainless Steel Trimmer, he would have won the race. The ad references Chalmers’ placement during the Tokyo Olympics, where he came second in the 100m freestyle.
