Dp you know the real reason most razor blades soon begin to “pull” and scrape and have to be thrown away? It is because a razor edge is made up of hundreds of tiny teeth—3400 of them in the average safety razor blade. They are so delicate that the first trip through the horny bristles of the beard leaves them jagged and bent. This is the chief cause of shaving discomfort. Stropping is the only way to rectify this. With the Valet AutoStrop Razor these teeth can be quickly and easily smoothed back into line. It strops, shaves and cleans without removing the blade. Gives a new, sharp shaving edge in ten seconds morning after morning. The blades that come with the Valet AutoStrop Razor give a whole year of cool, smooth Shaves.
