What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, with the STAR Safety Razor dominating the right side. The ad emphasizes individual craftsmanship—each blade undergoes twenty-one separate operations rather than mass-production batching. This appeals to early-20th-century consumer concerns about quality and care in manufacturing. The left side contains reader letters and smaller ads (billiards book, tire maintenance bureau). One letter from "A Lover of Dogs" criticizes **vivisection** (animal testing in medical research), praising Life's editorial stance against this practice. The writer argues that animal testing is morally indefensible and that vivisection represents "arrogant pretensions of the Medical Trust." This reflects a genuine early-1900s debate: anti-vivisection was a serious reform movement, and Life apparently championed animal welfare against medical establishment practices. The juxtaposition of this passionate moral letter with consumer advertising about craftsmanship is typical of Life's mixed editorial-commercial format.

A dozen or twenty are ‘ound, then honed, then stropped, at the same time. Actual- Vy some of them need more work, others less. As a result few are perfectly finished. The blade you buy may be, or it may not. STAR razor blades are made individually. Every blade from the first forging to the final gentle stropping, goes through twenty-one operations. Each blade travels this road separately. It is tempered, ground, or honed according to its individual needs. So we say that the blades you use have been made for you. For they are bound to be perfectly finished, ready for your face. STAR Blades are made from the finest razor steel known. Each blade is taken from the heart of the tempered metal. This, together with our special carbonizing and magnet- izing processes, gives the STAR Blade wonderful durability, elasticity. It takes the keenest cutting edge easily—then holds it. You can’t get a good blade for a few cents. Buy the STAR Safety Razor and use blades that are made for you. If your dealer doesn’t sell the STAR, write us.
