I was eating at a local Cuban watering hole "La Rumba Cubana" (75th & Broadway, in North Bergen, NJ) and one of their walls has vintage ads from Cuban magazines, which I suspect are BC - Before Castro.
Here is the ad:
Now what does it say?"You need a hard blade to shave a hard beard" You could also use tough, instead of hard, I suppose.
Then it continues, in prose that will bring a tear to many an SE shaver's eye, "GEM is the hardest of all razor blades. It's probable you have a hard beard like this Scuba Diver. Then, use GEM. There is four times as much steel in each GEM blade as there are in other paper thin blades. Hard, tense steel, that gives you greater consistency in every blade. The edge is 18% sharper. Place a hard GEM blade in a GEM "shaving machine". Results: A more complete, softer shave for the hardest beards.
Avoid Five O'Clock Shadow. Shave with GEM."
Razor in Spanish is Maquina de Afeitar or Shaving Machine.
