Safety Razor If You Didn’t Shave With a STAR This Morning It’s Our Fault—Not the Razor’s For thirty-five years we have been paying more at- tention to the making and perfecting of the STAR than to the selling of it. The result is a razor that meets every requirement of the man who shaves. In the frame are self adjusting blade clips, large lather cup, hinged back for easy cleaning. But we pride ourselves most upon the blades. Each is made from the finest steel—taken from the heart of the tempered metal. Each is forged, tempered, hard- ened, ground, honed and stropped individually and by hand. Our men who do this work have lived with the STAR the better part of their lives. They are trained, experienced blade makers. Their in- terest in the high quality of the STAR is as great asourown., They give you a blade that takes a marvelous cutting edge—and keepsit.

If you are not using a STAR it's because you don’t know about it—be- cause you've never tried it. We are toblame. Not the razor. If your dealer doesn’t sell the STAR write us.
