Description: Transcription: - Hi, Hank! 0:01 Shaving close for your big closeup, huh? 0:02 - Yup. 0:05 - Well, 0:06 don't cut yourself. 0:08 - Sam, I don't have to cut myself to shave close. 0:11 This is the TRAC II, 0:14 the two-bladed razor from Gillette. 0:15 The blades are recessed, 0:16 so it's safer. 0:17 - Recessed? Then, how come it shaves so close? 0:18 Hank Because when the first blade shaves your whisker, 0:22 it stretches it out from the skin. 0:25 And before it can snap all the way back, 0:26 the second blade can shave it again closer. 0:28 - What if I went back again with my one-blade razor? 0:31 - The whisker snaps back too fast. 0:34 - Gee, that's a great shave. 0:36 - And that's not even my good side. 0:39 Announcer The Gillette TRAC II, 0:41 the two-bladed razor. 0:43
