Bump Stopper Information

in September of 1972, the first ads in Jet and Ebony magazines introduced the very first razor bump relief product to the open market. Before this revolutionary discovery, it was believed that the only solution to resolving the razor bump problem, caused primarily by shaving with any kind of razor, was to either stop shaving altogether or use a depilatory method of shaving. These depilatories often proved to be too harsh or intolerable for most men. With his pharmacy training from the University of Illinois and with additional degrees in chemistry from Roosevelt University (Chicago, IL) and San Diego State University and while working as a nuclear research and developmental chemist for Argonne National Laboratories (Chicago, IL) and General Atomics Corporation (San Diego, CA), Mr. Hillard Phillips diligently worked on resolving this problem, a problem that had plagued him since he had started shaving. After years of research and an unwillingness to accept failure, the first razor bump treatment was formulated - known, at that time, as High Time Ingrown Hair and Razor Bump Treatment. The name of the product was later changed at the insistence of its faithful users because practically everybody that used it simply referred to it as "the Bump Stopper"!
