The Schermack Round Safety Razor is the first really efficient and safe razor for women–because it’s round.  It fits all under-arm curves perfectly–any way you hold it. No sharp points or porjecting edges.  Shaves faster–smooth and clean–yet with no danger of cutting delicate skin.  Just what women have long been looking for.

A Splendid Christmas Gift!

As beautifully finished as a piece of jewelry…

A splendid Christmas gift, indeed.
