Description
Black and white 9 1/4″ x 13 1/4″ ad that is for the Remington Ledtronic II Electric Shaver. The headline of this ad asks a question, “18 shavers cost less than a cordless Remington Lektronic II. So why buy a Remington?”. Maybe the text will give us the answer. “The motor is self-powered. Sealed-in rechargeable en ergy cells let you shave anywhere without a cord. Forget to recharge? There’s a cord. Plug in, shave on the spot. Every Remington shaver has 348 whisker cutting edges. Made of surgical high-carbon steel they’re harder, stay sharper longer than stainless steel. Honed on an angle rather than straight across, they slice whisker’s off rather than “plough” them up. This is the shaving head. Big. Strokes a wide path as it moves over the beard. Note the slots. 756 to be exact. Since the whiskers have to pass through the slots to get to the cutters, the more slots, the faster the shave. These comb-like rollers are exclusive with Remington. They’re right on the shaver head. They adjust to every type of skin and beard. Roller Combs let you shave close without burning your face. They roll skin down…pop whiskers up into the cutters. The self-powered Lektronic II is the most effective shaving instrument a man can use. That’s why it costs a little more”.
