EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this advertisement for the Durham Duplex Safety Razor, a shaving innovation from 1914. The image showcases the sleek design of the razor, with its elegant handle and intricate engravings, nestled in a velvet-lined case. The tagline, "A close shave but in comfort," speaks to the razor's ability to provide a precise shave while ensuring the user's safety. During the early 20th century, razors were a common gift item, especially during the holiday season and military campaigns. Soldiers would often carry their razors with them, making durability and ease of use essential features. The Durham Duplex Safety Razor answered this need with its interchangeable double-edged blades, which promised a long-lasting and efficient shaving experience. The diagonal stroke, reminiscent of a barber's shave, was a selling point for the Durham Duplex Safety Razor. It allowed users to mimic the professional shave they might have received at a barber shop, all while avoiding the risk of cutting themselves. The razor's design was not only practical but also stylish, making it an attractive addition to any gentleman's toiletries. This advertisement is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the past. It showcases the attention to detail and the emphasis on both functionality and aesthetics that were integral to advertising during the early 1900s. The Durham Duplex Safety Razor, with its promise of a close and comfortable shave, was a must-have item for any man, whether at home or on the battlefield.
