Burma Shave Signs Poem by Belle Wassermeister

***** five stars FOR: poem, picture, & Poet's Notes, though at first I did not notice that the photo was a series of 5 photos stacked one upon the other. : ) bri

suggestion: DON'T put shaving cream on your skin to be shaved with an ELECTRIC RAZOR! No, I never did that. : ) bri

I might have used Burma Shave shaving cream (from an aerosol can) , though I might have been 'too young' to shave back 'then'. My dad used shaving soap and a shaving brush to lather his face before shaving.

I don't know of anyone that actually bought Burma Shave, either. I don't remember ever seeing the actual product in any stores.

I loved those old Burma Shave signs! Thanks for sharing this memory with us!
