THE WORLD'S BEST SAFETY

never was such a safety as the ROYAL RAZOR before. Compact and neat in its slim case it is unobtrusively ready to giva s perfect shave every morning. Pross the knob and up comes the lid, leaving the blade all ready for its daily stropping-a moment's automatic work. Then out with the blade and the handle too.. Slip the blade into the bandle- and there you are, all ready for the best share you've ever had.

TH

THERE is only one blade with a ROLLS RAZOR: This blade is hollow-ground, made from tested steel by craftsmen. It is a blade to put confidence in-not a iserable, pany affair like the wafer blades that are examped out by machinery in thousands. The one blade of & BOLLS RAZOR will give years of smooth, clean shaves. And it is always kept keen by stropping and boning in its case. Get a ROLLS RAZOR and be " sure of smooth shaves for years.
