The Durham-Dupex is in a class by itself.
Its more than mere safety razor, be-
cause you can use the sliding stroke like Your
barber does and you CAN'T cut ANY
THING But BEARD. The long blade per
mits of that natural diagonal stroke that has
made the old-style razor the best for clean,
easy shaving. The Durham-DupleX is this
old-fashioned principle made SAFE.
