Does the blade gap at 0:38 appear noticeably uneven to anyone else?

Nice ad from the year I was born in!!

It does, but it could be due to the point of view?

Yeah, my guess would be "forced perspective".

Gillette should pull those adds unless they are actually willing to sell me one, :lol:

Cool, my birth year as well. To my eyes the gap looks off, but I agree, hard to know for sure.

My question is: were the blue Gillette blades that good that you could move the razor that fast and get that perfect shave?

Wow. 50 Shillings!! How much does a Fusion cost these days in relation to that?

Darn, now I'm going to have to go get a Blue Blade dispenser and load it up with Med Preps and Yellows and Feathers. I like the way that loads.
