“A Clean Pitcher and a Close Shave.” Hall of Fame pitcher Christy Mathewson for the Durham Duplex razor. “Big Six” says:
“I have used the Durham Duplex Razor for a long time, and it has been my best friend in many a close shave.”
Mathewson won 372 games for The New York Giants and one for the Cincinnati Reds from 1900-1916, including four 30-win seasons, and was a member of the first Hall of Fame induction class.
“Christy Mathewson brought something to baseball no one else had ever given the game. He handed the game a certain touch of class, an indefinable lift in culture, brains, and personality.’”
— Grantland Rice
