A French-language advertisement for the Gillette safety razor, a product that transformed shaving in the early twentieth century, makes an unusual entry on a board devoted to health and beauty. King C. Gillette patented his disposable-blade razor in 1901, and the company's push into European markets, including France, helped turn a clean-shaven face into a daily grooming habit for ordinary men. Notice how the copy and layout speak to a consumer's sense of convenience and self-presentation, reflecting how commercial advertising sold personal hygiene as both a matter of health and of social polish.
