A Special Shave Cream-It's Not a Soap, Needs No Brush!

Dailyshaving leaves many men's facen raw and sensitive. Yet, because of his business and social status, one out of every 7 men must shave every day,

To meet this condition, Williams has now developed GLIDER-a spe

A superabundance of moisture is, contained in this rich cream. It won't dry on your face."Applied with the fingers, it quickly softens each whisker.
