Description
Black and white 9 3/4″ x 14″ ad that wants you to try the Schick 3 Speed Razor. The ad has a drawing of a man, pondering and wondering, just what he thinks about the Schick 3 Speed Razor that he holds in his hand as the headline states that “You Be The Judge”. The ad headline then says that they were having an “Amazing ‘Say When’ free trial! New Schick 3 Speed Razor“. They were offering a “Special February-March offer at most Schick dealers: ‘Test shave’ this razor at home as long as you want, up to 30 days. Closer, faster shaves…or your money back!”. They then said that you could “Compare the new Schick 3 Speed with the razor…blade or electric…you’re now using. Take your time. You ‘say when.’ At any speed, you’ll get better shaves the very first day. But try all 3 different speeds…try all 3 different settings of the adjustable Custom-Comb Shaving Head…and you’ll find the combination that’s perfect for you. Speed control plus head control…it takes both to fit the shave to your beard and skin. That’s why the Schick 3 Speed must out-shave your present razor…or return it to your dealer and get your money back. But don’t put it off! This 30-day free trial offer expires March 31, 1960″. Also, this ad had a little box in the lower right hand corner saying “Attention Schick Owners: New 3-way adjustable shaving head for most Schick electric razors. We’re sorry we can’t give your present Schick razor 3 speeds. But for most models, we can offer this new shaving head…that adjusts like the head on the Schick 3 Speed. 3 settings fit the shaving angle to your face. Get it at most Schick dealers”.
