I was looking at some Eversharp Schick ads from 1946 and a recurring slogan caught my attention:
I'm curious about a few things. First, by "in service" did they mean soldiers in the then-recent war? Second, if Schick Injector razors represented 70% of any kind of market then why weren't they more of a dominant force in the overall shaving industry? It seems like that should have easily put Gillette on the ropes.
Obviously, I'm missing something but I'm not sure what.
"The razor demanded by 7 out of every 10 men in service!"
