Nacet's achievement in produc- ing a low-priced blade of con- sistently fine quality has been a land-mark in the history of shaving. It has brought within the reach of thousands, the luxury of a daily shave, perfect in its smoothness and keenness, without adding in the least to their annual expenditure on blades..
