A man’s best friend AFTER SHAVING



Here are a few of the reasons why it is welcomed by literally tens of thousands of men for whom it has made shaving pleasant: 1. Listerine is a natural healing agent. Physicians know it, and hospital records prove it. Applied full strength, it readily heals and soothes tissue inflamed by lather or razor, or both. Almost instantly Listerine gets rid of that unpleasant burning sensation, that irritating rawness which so often follows a shave.

2. Listerine is cooling. The skin feels wonderfully cool and relaxed after you apply Listerine. This remarkable cooling sensation is due to certain essential oils contained in this safe antiseptic.

3. Listerine protects. When you douse on Listerine full strength, you know that you are aiding nature and combating infection. Applied to an open cut, wound, or abrasion, Listerine kills germs almost immediately. Even such stubborn disease-producers as the Staphylococcus Aureus (pus) and Bacillus Typhosus (typhoid) germs in counts ranging to 200,000,000 are killed by it in 15 seconds. (Fastest killing time accurately recorded by science.) It perks you up!

So welcome and so noticeable is the invigorating and cooling effect of Listerine on the face, that many men employ it as a facial pick-me-up. Immediately before a business or social engagement, it gives you the appearance of being alert, fresh and keen.


Kills 200,000,000 Germs in 15 Seconds

    Who needs AXE when your face can smell like “Medicine Breath” all day?

    I have an old, unopened bottle (ca. 1930s) that has a huge list of uses: antiseptic, prophylactic, hair tonic, after shave, wound cleaning, etc.

    Yup. Listerine is far underutilized these days.

    I’m sure that makes a GREAT impression when someone slaps listerine on their face “Immediately before a business or social engagement.” He might have the *appearance* of being “alert, fresh, and keen” but I’d think he’d smell like he had several too many drinks.

    That’s all I can think of to say.
    That, and “Ow!”
