- | 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 |
