| Narrator | You know, it's hard to look really close-shaven | 0:00 |
| all day long, | 0:02 | |
| unless you shave twice. | 0:03 | |
| Once in the morning | 0:05 | |
| and again after work. | 0:06 | |
| Two shaves a day. | 0:08 | |
| But now you can get two shaves at once. | 0:09 | |
| Gillette introduces the world's first razor | 0:12 | |
| with two separate blades. | 0:14 | |
| The new Gillette Tandem. | 0:16 | |
| See? Two blades, one here, one here. | 0:18 | |
| Two blades, so it shaves you twice. | 0:22 | |
| Shave number one, | 0:25 | |
| the first blade cuts your whisker like an ordinary razor, | 0:26 | |
| but as it cuts it | 0:29 | |
| it also stretches it out a little from your face. | 0:30 | |
| Shave number two happens | 0:33 | |
| when the second blade comes along | 0:34 | |
| and cuts that stretched out whisker flush with your face. | 0:36 | |
| See that extra whisker? | 0:39 | |
| That's the part a one blade razor could miss. | 0:41 | |
| But the Tandem gets it | 0:43 | |
| because it shaves you twice. | 0:44 | |
| It's shaved so much closer, | 0:46 | |
| you look good all day long. | 0:48 | |
| The new Gillette Tandem, | 0:50 | |
| the twin blade shaving system. | 0:52 | |
| It shaves you closer | 0:54 | |
| because it shaves you twice. | 0:55 |
