MADE

BETTER VALUE THAN EVER

The Gillette No. 77 Set illustrated here, which contains the latest Gillette razor, three Blue Gillette slotted blades and two blade holders in a new type of moulded box, has these definite advantages. '

The razor is made in two pieces instead of threa, as formerly, thus making it easier and quicker to clean, assemble and use. The blades are made by the new electrical-temparing process. They give not only closer, cleaner shaves than you have ever had before, but also more shevas per blade.

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