FOR THE 1 MAN

IN 7 WHO SHAVES EVERY DAY

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

Dailyshavingleaves many men's face 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-aspe ial cream for daily shavers. With no soap base, it's a complete departure from ordinary shave creams. No brush. Nolather, Notsticky or greasy. A superabundance of moisture is contained in this rich cream. It won't dry on your face. Applied with the fingers, it quickly softens exch whisker. A protective layer formed over which your razor glides. Of comes each hair at the base without scaping. Like a cold cream, Glider belpa keep your skin smooth all day. Glider is the result of nearly 100 years' experience in making fine shaving preparations.
