Transcription InfoField | Shaving Without Stropping
We want you to test for yourself in your own home at your own pleasure the comfort, cleanliness, time-saving, freedom from stropping and honing, the delightful velvet shaving of that one safety that is not only a safety but a razor—the Gillette Safety Razor Always ready—always keen. It has twelve double-edged blades as thin as paper, tempered and glass hardened by our new process so that it takes diamond dust to grind them. Sent direct from factory, blades and case sealed to show it is new. 24 razors in one; each blade gives from ten to thirty perfect shaves without bother or attention. No Stropping or Honing New blades inserted in a second. You have only to lather and shave. No matter how tender your face or how wiry your beard—no matter how nervous or unused to shaving you may be, in three minutes time your face will be as smooth as a babe’s—you'll shave in perfect comfort and without a scratch. Barber shops mean tedious waits and risk of infection. A Gillette Razor lasts for years. When you have used each of the edges until dull, return to us and we will give you six new blades in exchange at no cost to you. 12 additional blades at nominal cost. Money back if not satisfied after 30 days trial—we do as we say. Ask your dealer; if he doesn’t sell it, get him to write us. Write for our interesting booklet.

[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:
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. |
