Thus, if you teach a man to shave with a Safaeto razor, winch we guarantee and keep in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than bv giving him a hundred guineas. Tlie sum may bo soon spent, the regret onlv remaining of having foolishly consumed it, but in the other case he escapes the frequent Vexation of a dull razor scraping the skin's surface, and being late for work, etc. This razor permits a sliding, gliding, diagonal motion, which gives an absolutely clean shave, leaving the face soft and smooth without the slightest irritation or soreness, which makes shaving a pleasure.
