To meet this condition, Williams has now developed GLIDER-a spe- cinl cream for daily shavers. With no soap base, it's a complete departure... from ordinary shave creams. No brush.Nolather. Notsticky or greasy.
A superabundance of moisture is contained in this rich cream. It' won't dry on your face. Applied with the fingers, it quickly softens each whisker. A protective layer is formed over which your razor glides. Off comes each hair at the base without scraping. Like a cold cream, Glider helps keep your skin smooth all day. Glider is the result of nearly 100. years' experience in making fine shaving preparations. S
