1895 One morning, Mr. Gillette from Wisconsin, USA, cut his face with an old and dull leftover knife. He used too much force when he was in a hurry and shaved his face a little. After he was full of discomfort, he suddenly wondered why he didn't design a new razor holder himself, which was sharp and safe.
He spent several years cooperating with an engineer, and finally succeeded in manufacturing the world's first safe razor and blade in 1903. But only 5 1 razors and 168 blades were sold that year. Gillette is not discouraged. He firmly believes that his invention will be favored by men all over the world.
During World War I, American commanders found that their troops were far less clean and tidy than the French. It turned out that all French soldiers were distributed with the T-type safety razor invented by Gillette. As a result, the US military command immediately ordered 3.5 million razors and 36 million blades from Gillette. Gillette razors are famous for this.
The first safety razor invented by Mr. Gillette only used a single-sided blade, and 197 1 began to have double-sided blades. In recent years 10, Gillette Company has invested 200 million dollars to develop the latest series of inductive Gillette induction shavers 199 1 year. This new product is a movable cutter head. The blade is mounted on a highly sensitive spring, and the two blades can be independent or mutually inductive. The product can also adapt to the slight fluctuation of facial curve and make automatic adjustment. There is a super-sliding blade on the tool rest, which can automatically flow out lubricating liquid after being dipped in water. Compared with the traditional fixed blade, shaving is more close-fitting, smooth, safe and comfortable.
At present, Gillette's products are produced in factories in 25 countries around the world, with distributors and retailers all over the world. Gillette induction shaver has 23 world patents and has become a necessary item in the VIP box of the US presidential plane "Air Force One". Now Gillette is trying to completely conquer the traditional fixed shaver and electric shaver. However, in the end, Mr. Gillette's initial accidental invention will last as long as a man's beard.
