    Thanks for sharing. Interesting videos on old Gillette razors.

    Everytime I see a old baseball/sports vendor, I always ask if they have any Yankee/Gillette ads. Haven't found one yet.

    I think there are four items in this world that combined can solve any problem. They are: A pair of pliers, Duct Tape, paperclip/wire, and Barbicide.

    So I noticed that in those ads, instead of doing short, quick strokes, the guys are taking one long stroke from their temples to the tip of their chins. Is that purely for advertising's sake?
