Gillette started marketing his razors early in the last century. And while it may seem obvious to us today how a three piece safety razor works, he actually had to explain it in his advertisments.
I think that impresses me most – beyond the nicely detailed drawing of a two-ring Old Typerazor – is the absolutely awesome goatee the shaver has.
Is there a better way to start a fresh year than with a refreshing shave? I would say no, but then again… I am somewhat biased in favour of nice shaves.
