King Camp Gillette (1855-1932), raised in Chicago, becomes the star performer of the Crown Corck and Seal Company, a company specializing in the manufacture of corks. His mentor in this society, who noted his preference for DIY mechanics, suggested he invent something like the Crown cap to be thrown after use, so that the customer comes back. This idea that obsesses Gillette, one morning in 1885, while he struggles to sharpen his razor, the vision of a removable razor head enclosing a double-edged disposable blade. Gillette then founded the American Safety Razor Company, which became in 1902, the Safety Razor Company. Made in 1903, he patented a year later and will provide during the First World War, 3.5 million razors and 36 million blades to the U.S. Army. Nobody can claim to have invented the razor. In prehistoric times, man shaves with shells, shark teeth and, later, with bronze plates. The first razors appear XIIesiècle: medieval barbers were also surgeons. The first razor steel is manufactured in Sheffield, England XVIIIesiècle. In 1901, in an office located above a fish of Atlantic Avenue, Boston, American society is created Gillette Company. The company's goal is to market a safety razor with replaceable blades. King Camp Gillette, a Canadian of French and now American, is the inventor. In 1902, the company receives the name of Gillette Safety Razor Company (Company of Gillette safety razors). The following year begins production Gillette sells razors and 168 blades 51, 1904, the figures climb: 90,884 razors and 123,648 blades. Initially, dull blades are sharp, this method was abandoned in 1906. The problem of manufacturing a thin steel blade, sharp, low cost is solved by William Nickerson, the only employee of Gillette. Gillette extended its business overseas. In London he opened a retail store, and in Paris he created a company in a factory bicycle saddles. In 1911, Gillette sold 35.6 million blades. The numbers do not stop growing. During the First World War, the U.S. team soldiers toilet kits containing razors, leading to supply 4.2 million Gillette razors to the armed forces. In 1928, a new invention was born: the electric razor. In 1931, King Camp retired from his business and he died the following year. Shaving is more enjoyable with soap and water: the Gillette safety razor still prevails. 1933 was a record year for Gillette, which is on the list of the hundred largest companies. In 1955 the group acquired the Paper Mate, since when the Group has strengthened its position in the sector by acquiring pens Waterman in 1987 and in 1993 it acquired Parker and Liquid Paper (correction pen). On the other diversifications have taken place with the acquisition in 1967 by Braun, Oral B in 1984 and Duracell in 1997.
