We knew these softening, soothing oils were the best for the face— for 3,000 years that had been known. But our problem was to apply their balmy blend to a shaving cream. It was not easy—though we certainly knew soap making well. Our creation of the finest toilet soap known had proved that. We made up and tested scientifically 130 different kinds of shaving cream. We tested all other known creams, too. We found their virtues and their faults, And step by step, and month by month, we improved our formulas until we seemed toreach perfection in each quality desired. Formula No. 130 was right In this formula we found we had at last attained the ideal shaving cream. It proved superior on these tests : PALMOLIVE Shaving Cream It multiplies itself in lather 250 times. Just one-half gram—a bit of cream— proves plenty for a luxurious shave. The oil coating on the beard is removed almost instantly. Within one minute the beard absorbs 15% of water—enough to soften the stubbornest beard. Such quick efficiency is astonishing. The lather maintains its rich creamy fullness for ten minutes on the face. Plenty of time to shave. The palm and olive oils are the supreme lubricant, soft and soothing to the skin. So the need for lotions is ended. Now test it yourself Millions have already adopted Palm- olive Shaving Cream because of these superiorities. The coupon will bring you a trial tube without cost.
