Overview
This entertaining advert from the 1960s features a family on Christmas morning. Dad has just received his present from Mum and the kids, which on opening, is seen to be a Remington Four-Most electric shaver. He loves it and demonstrates how the shaver works on his stubble-free chin. He even has a buzz with the sideburn trimmer. The price revealed at the end is quite high - being equivalent to about £140 in today's money - but easy payment terms are available.
