Never said anything about danger. My dad hardly watched TV, read the newspaper and Popular Mechanics. He most likely tried like most men out of curiosity and decided this is convenient easy gives a quality shave. The styptic pen also disappeared from the med cabinet. Men of that generation were not easily swayed by advertizing you had to prove you had a product that worked and was cost effective.
