A real classic !!
Very nice short film... thanks!
A great piece of history, thank you for posting.
love this. I like the way the accent is on the first syllable of Gillette. Also, I can't see because of the watermark, but what razor is the man using?
Awesome!
Great ol' film. Thanks for sharing, eh?

Not sure why the fellow wanted to store his razor blade in his pocket
but I'm having a little fun with what the message was intended for- not to bump them.

Thank you. Shameless bump. Notated for future reference.
I know it was probably wartime, but I never got why he would nip on down to the Chemist shop and just buy a single blade.Not sure why the fellow wanted to store his razor blade in his pocket

Yup, Wartime and shortages were common know doubt. Never gave it much thought about the date. Still a good film for its time and present because they had issues back then I see. The edge is finite in the 10's of thousands of a inch that a recklessness handling would damage the edge like it still would today whether it be DE, SE, or cartridge blades.
Thanks for sharing, it was interesting to watch 
Great film. Thanks for posting!
Great informative video! Thanks for posting it!!!
Now I know hot wow to unwrap a blade. Awesome video.
I have a blade collection that's into the thousands, and I love the fact that they are so cheap; but there was something very pleasing about watching the portrayal of a man buying a single blade, packing it not fussily but with care for the trip home, and unwrapping it in the same spirit.
