The Gillette No. 77 Sai illustrated here, which contains the tatosi. Gilletia 18zor, 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 piaces instead of three, as formerly, thus making it easier and quicker to clean, assemble and use.

The blades are made by the now electrical-tampering process. They give not only closer, cleaner shaves than you have 'ever had before, but also more shaves per blade,

The case is ideal for hot and humid climates as it is so easy to keep clean.
