| Transcription | “Shave Yourself”
I have already convinced over a million men that a daily home shave with my razor is a habit that every self-respecting man should acquire. I have taught them that the “Gillette” way is the only way to save time and money—to maintain an unruffled disposition and to be sure of perfect hygienic shaving conditions. My razor is increasing in popularity every day, because it is absolutely dependable—it is always ready for use—no stropping—no honing—and it gives as light or as close a shave as you may wish, without danger of cutting or scratching. I have changed the entire complexion of the advertising pages of the prominent magazines of this country, not only by my own advertisements, but by the greater number of announcements published by manufacturers of shaving soaps, shaving brushes, shaving powders, shaving creams and other shaving accessories that have been made profitable because the army of “Gillette” users who are self-shavers is increasing in number daily. Finally, I am proving more conclusively every day, that while there may be room for argument as to what shaving accessories one should use, there is no doubt about the Razor. There is but one perfect razor—for all men—to be used under all conditions—and that is my razor—the “Gillette.” When you buy a safety razor get the best—the “Gillette.” It will last you for the rest of your life—it is not a toy—it will always give you complete satisfaction. The double-edged, flexible blades are so inexpensive that when they become dull you throw them away as you would an old pen. King C. Gillette The Gillette Safety Razor set consists of a triple silver-plated holder, 12 double edged blades (24 keen edges), packed in a velvet lined leather case and the price.is $5.00 at all the leading Jewelry, Drug, Cutlery, Hardware and Sporting Goods Dealers.
