To meet this condition, Williama has now developed GLIDER-aapé- ial 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, the result of nearly 100 years' experience in making fine shaving preparations.
