Gillette razors and shaving products

Gillette is a world-renowned brand specializing in safety razors and other personal care products. Founded by King C. Gillette in 1901, the brand revolutionized grooming by introducing the disposable blade system. For over a century, the brand has remained at the forefront of shaving technology, transitioning from the original double-edged blades to modern multi-blade systems like the Mach3 and Fusion, and more recently, advanced lines like GilletteLabs.

Today, Gillette operates as a flagship brand under the Procter & Gamble (P&G) umbrella. Manufacturing is conducted on a global scale to meet demand across various regions. Major production facilities are located in the United States (notably in Boston, Massachusetts), Poland, Brazil, Mexico, and China. This distributed manufacturing network allows the brand to maintain its position as a global leader in the male and female grooming markets.

The brand's ownership has evolved from an independent entity to being part of one of the world's largest consumer goods conglomerates. After being acquired by P&G in 2005, Gillette benefited from extensive research and development resources, leading to innovations such as heated razors and exfoliating bars. The brand remains headquartered in Boston while its corporate strategy and financial oversight are managed from P&G's global headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio.
