FOR THE 1 MAN SKIPPER
MAN KEPT VOW -DIED
IN 7 WHO SHAVES
EVERY DAY
A Special Shave Cream-It's Not a Soap, Needs No Brush!
* Dallyshavingleavesmany men'sfacos raw and sensitive. Yet, because of his business and social status, one out of every 7 men must shave every day,
To meet this condition, Williama has now developed GLIDER-aspe cial cream for daily shavers. With no soup base, it's a complete departure from ordinary shave creams. No brush. No lather. 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.
