Seer? under a power fut
magnifying glas* an
unatropped razor blade looks
like u saw cd ?a
emooth, keen edge for every
ehavo
No skill necessary
No skill in stropping is needed
to renew the fine keen edge
?of the AutoStrop Razor blade.
Just sup the strop through
the razor head and pass the
razor back and forth along
the strop. You don't have to
take the razor apart nor even
remove the
.-lade.
NLY a dulled or dulling razor blade pullo and
scrapes. If your razor drags, if it irritates the skin,
you can be sure of one thing?you are using a blade
that has lost its new, sharp edge.
Do you know why shaving dulls a razor edge so quickly?
Look at any razor blade under a microscope and you will
see hundreds of tiny saw teeth, invisible to the naked eye.
When these teeth are in perfect alignment the blade is
sharp. But during the very first shave your beard bends
these tiny teeth out of line?makes them irregular.
These irregular teeth catch in your beard, pull on the
hair follicles, and?if you bear down hard to make the blade
cut through?scrape the skin, That's what makes shaving
so annoying, so unpleasant.
With most safety razors there is no way to
smooth the minute teeth back into line. The
original smooth, fine edge of the blade grows
rougher with every shave. Too many men
accept the pull and scrape of fast dulling
blades as inevitable.
Yet the discomfort of a blade that pulls
and scrapes can be ehminated if you use the
AutoStrop Razor?the only safety razor that
strops its own blades?
Like the leaf of a book
The AutoStrop Razor blade
opens for cleaning like the
leaf of abook. Toclean, simply
rinse and dry. No parts to
unscrew?nothing to take
apart and reassemble. The
same lever t^at releases the
blade also adjusts it for close,
medium or light shaving.
Built right into the frame of the AutoStrop Razor fc ?
remarkable self-stropping device, simple and efficient, which
renews thefine, keen edgeof the AutoStrop blade day afterday*
A safety razor and stropping device combined
You don't have to take the razor apart nor even remove
the blade. 'Insert the strop through the razor head, and
sude the razor to and fro along the strop. The blade
turns over and slaps down on the strop at the end of each
stroke just as the blade of a straight razor does in the hands
ora skilful barber. In 10 seconds you have a new, sharp
shaving edge! 500 comfortable shaves are guaranteed
from each dozen AutoStrop blades !
For cleaning, the blade of the AutoStrop Razor opens like
the leaf of a book. Rinse and dry?that's all there is to it.
The same lever that releases the blade also adjusts it for
close, medium or light shaving.
In fact the whole AutoStrop Razor is so simply, so
efficiently built that it sharpens, shaves and cleans without
taking the razor apart or removing the blade. No other
safety razor offers this advantage.
Don't put up any longer with the pull and scrape of
unstropped blades. Begin tomorrow to get the comfort of
a new, sharp shaving edge every morning. Ask you?
