No. 77,SET

MADE IN

BETTER VALUE THAN EVER

The Gillette No. 77 5 iustrated here, which contains the latest Gillelta razor,, three Blue Gillette slatted blades and twe blade holders in a new type of moulded box, has these dofirate advantages.

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

The blades are made by the new slectrical-tempering 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."
