Mr. Raeburn, no. 13, North Bridge Street, Edinburg [sic]; & Mr. Simmons. no. 120, Capel Street Dublin; agents empowered to sell razor strops and paste, the same as Packwood himself. : Many a good razor has been cast aside as useless and good for nothing, till pro bono publico, a fact, or proof positive, stepped forward, to give ease to the cheek, comfort to the upper lip, a pleasant familiarity to the chin ... which takes place by a razor being stropped or sharpened on Packwood's new-invented razor-strop.

Caption title.
A typically eccentric piece of advertising from the tireless self-publicist and manufacturer of razors and razor strops, George Packwood. The broadside lists a number of his products including his "Hunting razors. Packwood's Treple [sic] Razors, or shaving made easy on horseback," and if three blades are not sufficient, "a new fangled instrument, called the Treple Razors double ... useful for young and timid shavers ..., made with six blades changeable to one haft.".
