| Description: | TV commercial for Barbasol Shaving Cream, 1950s. Card: "The Barbasol Romance of Virginia and Vance." Great MS young white couple (Virginia & Vance) getting romantic in wallpapered living room, Vance on bending knee, wooing the melting love of Virginia... that is, until Virginia runs a lily-white hand across her beau's stubbly face! Vance grows perplexed until a carton of Barbasol is presented to him by hand appearing mysteriously at bottom of screen. Vance steps before a mirror in verysame room, removes flowers from vase (tossing them unceremoniously aside), dabbles water on bristly cheeks, applies product, begins shaving w/ razor that magically appears in his hand. Virginia, noting her suitor's sartorial sweetness, saunters to his side to resume previous disposition. | |
