Also from memory… I’m about to shave without using any water Nothing to make my beard wet and soft - but this Rise I’m actually getting a clean shave - the reason? The moisture in Rise Slowly, Rise seeps moisture into your beard and holds it there for as long as it takes me shave. If I can get a shave like this using Rise with no water, imagine what you can do using rise \*with \*water. Who says advertising doesn’t work? ---

“This is my daughter’s first wedding!” A line from a commercial I saw only once, about 20 years ago. It begins with a middle aged guy saying this to the people sitting down next to him at an outdoor wedding setting, then cuts to the product, which I don’t actually remember, but I think it was some breakfast food that “picks you up.” Cut back to wedding, and we see the woman who is obviously the guy’s daughter make her entrance-- she is the minister performing the wedding. I wonder what happened to this commercial. I loved it, but wonder if some people didn’t, and there was some un-lovely mail, so the commercial got pulled. Anyone else remember this commercial? ---
