    Head Having huh? Would think that would increase the chances of gray hairs and baldness.

    Yeah, some of us crazy Americans are already using our bodies as billboards (Not myself, of course)

    The signs were discontinued when the Odell family sold to Phillip Morris in 1963. ASR bought them in 1976-1979 in a series of brand name acquisitions.
    Burma Shave products continued on until ASR began phasing out the creams first then the soaps in the late in the 2000 decade.
    The brushes hung on until around 2010 but were being made in China until I had heard that they were recently discontinued.
