Old Personna 74 blade commercial

I was looking up info on the Personna 74 blades and came across this commercial that I thought members might appreciate. Apparently this was a 1972 Superbowl commercial - I guess Superbowl commercials have come a long way -

BTW - I learned that all this time I've been pronouncing "Personna" wrong.
 
Wow!

Great Commercial! First time I have seen a commercial where they use a double edge razor! Nice!

BTW- I guess since I speak Spanish, I can pronounce Personna Correctly. JEJEJE!.

Thanks for the video!

Love the old commercials. :w00t:

But this begs the question, how were you pronouncing it?

I was pronouncing it as if it had only one 'n' as in persona. I understand what a double consonant does to the vowel preceding it, but to me it sounds silly the way it's said in the commercial.

BTW, I began searching that site and it has some other old razor and shaving commercials.

Thanks for the tip, I usually just search youtube, but this place is pretty nice, and you don't have to deal with the wasted time when someone butchers one.
 
Thanks for posting the link. I remember the Personna 74 ad, although I was not yet shaving when that ad came out. By the way, 74 is tungsten's atomic number.
