Singing cans!

“Be an old smoothie!”

Two shaving cream spots steaming up the bathroom mirror today. First, an October 1971 commercial for Gillette Foamy featuring singing cans. The actor is one we’ve seen before, for example, in this spot for Holiday Inn, and this one for New York Life. If someone can identify him – please let me know.

After Gillette, we have a Mr. Clean type shaving his head for Rapid Shave. The spot aired in November ’71.
