Today Gillette offers another great contribution to man's shavin, comfort -- a New Gillette Blade and a New Gillette Razor (patents pending). The New Gillette Blade can be used in your present Gillette Razor. But the New Gillette Razor has so many points of superiority that any a has cried it gh will gladly discard the faithful instru- ment of the past. Used together, the New Gillette Blade and the New Gillette Razor abolish forever two unpleasant fac- tors in shaving--"razor pull," and the tedious drying of razor parts. These are only two of the advan- tages of the new razor and the new blade. Read the other advantages summed up under "Quick Facts." Back of these great improve- ments lies a fascinating story of research. : More than twenty-seven thou- sand men were interviewed, Tens of thousands of used razors were examined, and this conclusion was reached: Cause of "razor pull" found In almost every case when 2 man' > complains that his razor "pulls," an expert examination shows that the razor has beer nicked by being dropped on the wash stand or floor. "Why should a little nick--even a microscopic nick -- spoil your shave? Here is the reason: | SR RR QUICK FACTS 1. New blade can be used in your old Gillette 2.

The slightest dent at one of the corners causes an unequal tension on the blade, throwing it out of petfect alignment. The blade may even crack under the unequal tension. Gillette finds the answer We could not keep men from drop: ping their razors. But we could offset the harmful effect. To do so required a change in both the razor and the blade. In the razor we reinforced all four corners of the cap with sturdy lugs made to withstand nearly any kind of abuse. The blade was treated even more | ingeniously. All four corners were beautiful cas. complet THI NEP GILLETT' RAZOR, 24K., gold-plated, in ith New Gilletrs Blade. ...Price Other De Luxe models from $5.00 to $75.00. cut out; whén the cap and guard of the razor clamp together, the blade 'is not held at the corners.

But even more important, the ends of the blade are much more nearly flush with the ends of the razor cap and guard , . . much easier now to reach those tough little cornets around the mouth, the ears, the nose. Notice the longer bent-back teeth You'll see, too, that the teeth of the New Gillette ate a bit longer-- rounded a little farther back. A little improvement? Yes. But no- tice how smoothly the new razor slides over your skin. * The old posts that stuck through the blade and so often stubbed the edges are gone, too.
