a Single hair annoyed him

THAT greatest dandy of all times, Beau Brummel, set great value on the smoothness of his face. After shaving, his custom was to go over his face with a pair of nippers. Hairs that survived the razor were pulled out by the roots.

Brummel was famous for his grooming at a time when good grooming was the exception and defects were covered with patches and paint.

Today in any gathering of business men you will see the freshness of face and ruddiness of skin that is due to the tonic effect of a daily Gillette shave.

Just lather briskly, rub in well: use the Gillette with an angle stroke: dip the face in cool water and pat dry with a soft towel.

A Gillette shave is quick and cool, safe and. sanitary. It is velvet-smooth, no matter how wiry the beard or tender the skin. Adjust the handle for a light or a close shave. A keen, fresh blade is always ready. No stropping—no honing. Prices $5 to $50. Blades 50c to $1. the packet. Dealers everywhere.

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.
Note: This tag should not be used for sound recordings.PD-1923Public domain in the United States//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gillette_Beau_Brummel_ad.jpg

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
