The Curve of the Gillette makes the Angle for Shaving IFH any razor but the GILLETTE, whether old style or “safety,” the difficulty is to maintain the correct angle when the blade- edge comes in contact with only razor in the world that does. Whatever the contour of the face—whatever the surface —with the handle in shaving position the edge is at the proper angle for shaving. You cannot go wrong: you cannot cut your face. TheGILLETTEmakes shaving easy. Nostropping, no honing. It insures a clean, satisfying shave, no matter how tough the beard or tender the skin. There is no razor like the GIL- LETTE; no handle, no blade like it. It is the only razor that can be ad- justed for a light or close shave. Standard set, $5.00, Onsaleevery- where.
