I must have been 7 or 8 and remember asking my dad about the bleeping. I think they made a few with the bleeping.
Anyone else old enough to remember these commercials?

The word "Personna" echoes in my mind, just as do "Schick," "Krona," "Patrice Lumumba," "Secretary McNamara," and "Dag Hammarskjold." Stuff I heard on TV at a very young age.

I was there..
The first one I paid any attention to was the commercial for Gillette Platinum Plus during the 1969 NFL Championship game. I remember a bunch of guys in their robes running up a hill towards a big razor blade standing upright like the monolith from the movie "2001". Maybe I can find it on YouTube, you think?
I remember bits and pieces from a much earlier animated one but I don't remember what blade it was for.

Wonderful thread!! This brings back memories of the golden days of shaving! 
That's it.
Here you go.
Can't find a video, but Gillette used to sponsor Friday Night Fights, which of course was a televised boxing program. It was some of my earliest memories with my father, as he loved boxing and had boxed some in Golden Gloves and in the Army.
Lovely, I love watching these old commercials. No CGI, wonderful stuff.
Can't remember any commercial about blades , but the old Hai Karate after shave commercial with Valerie Leon was burned into my mind ... funny commercial and a stunning woman.

These old commercials are so charming in a way. Remind of a golden age. I wasn't born until much later but can appreciate the spirit of that time.
This one was etched in my brain
Interesting to watch these commercials, quite entertaining. How times have changed.

I still use those Personna 74 blades, in both injector and DE formats. I'm hoping they run out about when I do .. not too soon, so the kids don't pitch 'em, not so late I have to shave with Dorco's or Derby's
The whistling old spice tune was forever burned into my subconscious.
