The reason you keep repeating with
your old blade is that some time or
other you happened to getm shaves
out of blade than you have right
to expect, and you sort of keep trying
to break the record.
This isn't fair to you and it isn't
fair to your Gillette. The Gillette Of
fers you the greatest shaving service
in the world, but it should not be
abused.
1t takes only fraction of min
ute to slip new blade out of its en-
velope and rip off the sterilized wax
paper that protects it and keeps it
sanitary and safe.
Thousands of Gillette users make
a regular habit Of changing blades
every so often-Sunday mornings per
haps, or maybe twice a week, depend
ing on each mans individual shaving
needs and character of beard.
