EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures a captivating moment in American advertising history. The Gillette Razor Ad from 1939 showcases the iconic Thin Gillette Blades and Gillette Blue Blades, which revolutionized the shaving experience for men and women alike. In this image, we see a father teaching his young son how to shave using these innovative blades. The father's steady hand guides the razor while imparting wisdom on proper grooming techniques. Meanwhile, the mother watches with admiration as her husband imparts this important life skill onto their son. The advertisement exudes an air of sophistication and elegance that was characteristic of early 20th-century America. It speaks to the values of hygiene, refinement, and familial bonds that were highly valued during this time period. The inclusion of tennis imagery in the background adds a touch of sportiness to the scene, suggesting that even amidst busy schedules and active lifestyles, one can still achieve a smooth shave with ease using Gillette products. This print is not just a testament to Gillette's success as a brand but also serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when personal grooming rituals held great significance within society.
