THE ARGOSY—ADVERTISING SECTION. The Good Barber Says: Get a Razor That Strops (Sharpens) I do not use an wnustropped, dull razor, because it would not shave conifortably or cleanly. Besides, doing so would irritate your skin, giving instead of a shave a ‘‘scrape,”’ which pulls and draws. Therefore, I strop (sharpen) my razor frequently so as'to shave you properly and leave your skin smooth and cool. Maybe you've tried to shave with ole or several of the different ‘‘no- stropping razors,’? and not having the skill or means of keeping them stropped (sha7f), have quit in disgust. NOW, HOWEVER, “A WAY OUT” HAS BEEN FOUND IN THE Auto Strep RAzoR Sirops Itself —placing in your hands a really wonderful expert mechanical barber. Its self-contained stropping (sharpening) arrange- ment makes the AutoStrop the ‘‘last word”’ in Safety Razors. It strops (sharpens) automatically, and being a/ways sharp gives the well-groomed man what he desires—a delightfully clean, smooth, safe shave each time used. It is not unscrewed or taken apart for either stropping (sharpening) or cleaning ; the AutoStrop strops itself sharp in about one third the time it takes to remove a dull used blade from any other Safety Razor to replace it with a new one, and you clean it just as conveniently, with- out taking apart—without unscrewing— without any trouble at all. AutoStrop Maxim: “You Lather Well, and I’ll Shave Well” If your dealer wishes to give you the * uare Deal’? in Safety Razors, he'll sell you the AutoStrop. Or, write AutoStrop Safety Razor Co.
