sorry should have put in here I guess that Burma Shave was a shaing cream for men dont know if the still make it or not but the point was to keep you awake on miles and miles of lonely hyway the signs were put up with part of the saying and then you would wait for the next sign to come to see what that one said

These were good. My grandpa used burma. i used to love watching him shave. He used a straight razor and a razor strap to sharpen it on. My uncles say he used that strap on their butts more than once lol
