Burma-Shave

From ShaveWiki

Company Info

Burma-Shave is an American brand. It was first sold in 1925, and was one of the first brands of brushless shaving creams. The brand is (in the US) famous for its roadside billboard campaigns where five consecutive billboards were placed so the drivers (and passengers) on the road could read a string together which formed a short rhyme, and was followed by a final sign with the Burma-Shave logo.

For instance (taken from the Burma-Shave soap review):
Men
With whiskers
'Neath their noses
Oughta have to kiss
Like eskimoses

Currently, Burma-Shave is a part of the American Safety Razor Company, who also own the Personna brand.
