Commercial for Gillette Super-Speed Blades; Brooklyn Dodger Pee Wee Reese shows another Dodger how to throw down a bunt when the Gillette spokesman appears and interviews Reese about his mentoring young players; he then asks Reese whether he recommends shaving, and he responds: “a boy has more self-respect when he’s clean-shaved! I tell ‘em to use a Gillette Razor!”; cut fade to baseball players Ray Campanella, Don Zimmer, and Pee Wee Reese shaving; voiceover: “You said it! The Gillette Super-Speed Razor, and today, there are three: light for sensitive skin and most younger men (Campanella); regular for average skin and beard (Zimmer), and heavy for men who like the heft and feel of a heavier razor. Each is different, precisely engineered. One has the right blade edge exposure, edge angle, and weight to shave you in a breeze!” (zoom shot of a razor’s edge measured by both calipers and ruler for demonstration) “Comfortable, good looking shaves you may never have had before, and convenient! You can change blades and rinse clean, so: choose your Super-Speed Blade Razor. A dollar-29 with Gillette Blue Blade dispenser and handy travel case!”
