Ingram Company . 38 Temth 81, Detrolt. an SS | RECENT improvements in processes of manufacture enable the Gillette Safety Razor Company to announce a razor blade of greater superiority—a blade that will give you a still better shave than any heretofore produced. These wonderful Gillette Bisdes, for use exclusively in the Gil- 'lette Safety Razor, are now offered to shaving men everywhere as the ultimate achievement in edged steel. These blades have been evolved during ten years of untiring experimental research in our own laboratories and workshops, in determining the best formula for producing razor steel and jin the gradual perfecting of automatic machinery and temper- jing systems. |The result is a shaving implement of rare quality—uniform, keen, hard and lasting—as near perfection as human ingenuity can approach. No expense has been spared in bringing about this achieve- ment. In fact, the recent expenditure of $170,000.00 on special |blade machinery has largely made possible the matchless Gil- \lette Blades we are now marketing. The Gillette Blade eliminates stropping and honing—an irk- some, wasteful and ofttimes hopeless task for the man who shaves. This enormously important feature is the fundamental principle of the Gillette Safety Razor, and has done more than anything else to popularize self-shaving all over the world.
