What a feeling when he shaves with Schick – most comfortable shaver of all. Combed edges set whiskers up straight. Super-Honed heads shave ’em off flush with the skin line. And the Hi-Power motor whisks through the toughest whiskers”. At the bottom of the ad it shows the “3 Reasons Why Nothing Shaves You Closer Than The New Schick “25”“. It shows 1.
