Description
Black and white 10″ x 13″ ad that wants you to know that “Norelco’s Rotary Blades stroke off whiskers, never pinch, never pull”. The picture in the ad shows that the “Shaving comfort travels in the smoothest circles” which seems to be “clockwise” and the bottom part of the picture shows that there are now “Two great new Norelco Speedshavers“. One of these is the Floating Head Speedshaver and the other is the Flip-Top Speedshaver. The ad begins by saying that “The very first time your face feels the soothing stroke of rotary blades, you’ll know why Norelco is America’s Number 1 shaver. What a relief to get cheap, close shaves without the pinch, pull and irritation of old-fashioned back-and-forth clipping action! Norelco’s rotary blades go round and round to stroke off your whiskers. They whirl around in one smooth continuous motion to give you the closest shaves with the greatest amount of comfort your face has ever known”.
