A short video about the "Burma-Shave" signs that were finally removed form our nation's highways in 1963

Enjoy!

I vaguely remember the signs from my early childhood, in the car with my parents driving from Detroit to Chicago along I-94.

My family relocated from NY to SoCal in August of 1958 and most of the trip was on Route 66. I was 7 and have forgotten most of the details of the 10 day trip but the Berma Shave signs were a highlight along with actually seeing the west; the stuff of boyhood dreams. Wish those dreams hadn't been shattered by the realities of life growing up and California's collapse over the next 25 years (even worse today).

Oh, and our car? A '49 Buick Roadster. Car is long gone but I've got a couple razors that age and older.

Did any of us ever use Burma Shave? How good of a product was it? Any first-hand experiences to share?
