Take it off, take it all off!
This advertisement would not fly today… I’m amazed it even flew back then. Just take it off baby, take it all of…
Equally interesting to the medicated shave cream is the injector razor… anyone up for IDing it?

A very interesting read
A few years ago Brian Krampert – the man who makes one of my favourite aftershaves – posted an in depth history of the Valet Autostrop; a razor I consider to have one of the more steam-punky looks of them all.
If you haven’t read it already, I strongly recommend going and doing it now – it’s a very interesting read.
