MADE

BETTER VALUE THAN EVER

The Gillette No. 77 Sat illustrated bare, which contains the Talest Gillette razor, three Blue Gillette slotted blades and two blade holders in a new type of moulded box, has those definite advantages.

The razor is made in two pieces instead of three, as formerly, thus making it easier and quicker to` cleani; assemble and use.

The blades are 'mada by the new electrical-tampering process. They give not only closer, cleaner shaves than have

you ever had before, but also more shaves per blade.

The case is ideal for hot and humid climates as à là so sesy to keep cleon.
