THE SCIENCE BEHIND GILLETTE RAZORS — BEARD GROOMING TIPS FOR MEN

THE SCIENCE BEHIND YOUR MOST TRUSTED BEARD TOOLS—RAZORS FOR
YOUR BEARD

Facial hair is a choice. Not a chore.

No matter how simple or complex, it’s about the process of maintaining, crafting, creating and caring for your own unique style. Your grooming ritual.

A well-groomed facial hair style typically also has areas of the face that are clean-shaven. Gillette has a long history of inventing razors for an ever closer, more comfortable shave, including its famous 5-bladed family of razors, which were introduced in 2006. Fueled by the spirit of our founder, King C Gillette is a new brand that introduces a complete set of precision tools and quality care products, to enable every man to create his unique style.

DOUBLE EDGE SAFETY BLADES:

Based on the original blade that was launched by our founder King C Gillette over 100 years ago. His main objective was to provide a blade that no longer needed stropping/sharpening, making it easier for men to have a safe shave at home.

Some of King C Gillette’s original design principles are still there:

A sheet of steel so thin that it needs external support to give rigidity to its cutting edge
Uniform thickness
Perforations in the center of the blade to accurately position the blade and clamp it securely in the razor

The original blade quality has been significantly improved thanks to advances in material science and manufacturing techniques
