Description: Transcription: - Hi, Hank. 0:02 Shaving close for your big closeup, huh? 0:04 - Yep. 0:07 - Well, don't cut yourself. 0:08 - Sam, I don't have to cut myself to shave close. 0:12 It's a TRAC II, the two-bladed razor from Gillette. 0:15 The blades are recessed, so it's safer. 0:18 - Recessed? Then how come it shaves so close? 0:20 - Because it doesn't shave like a one-bladed razor. 0:25 See, when the first blade shaves your whisker, 0:28 it stretches it out from the skin for a moment, 0:30 and before it can snap all the way back, 0:32 the second blade comes along, 0:34 and can shave it again, closer. 0:36 - What if I went back again with my one-blade razor? 0:38 (Hank laughs) 0:41 - You couldn't shave quick enough. 0:42 Whisker snaps back too fast. 0:44 - Gee, that's a great shave. 0:46 - And that's not even my good side. 0:49 Announcer The Gillette TRAC II, the two-bladed razor. 0:52 Gillette made it one blade better. 0:56
