Gillette manual razors and shaving products

Gillette is an iconic American brand that has led the shaving industry for over a century. Founded in 1901 by King C. Gillette, the brand revolutionized personal grooming with the introduction of the safety razor. Over the decades, it has expanded its product line to include disposable razors, high-performance cartridge systems, and a variety of shaving creams and post-shave treatments.

Manufacturing of Gillette products is a global operation. While major production facilities remain in the United States, particularly in South Boston, the brand utilizes a vast supply chain with manufacturing plants in countries such as Poland, Brazil, China, and India to satisfy worldwide demand. The brand focuses on precision engineering and continuous innovation in blade technology.

In 2005, the brand underwent a significant corporate shift when it was acquired by the consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble (P&G). Today, Gillette operates as a cornerstone brand within P&G's Grooming segment. This ownership provides the brand with extensive research, development, and distribution resources, maintaining its position as the global market leader in the shaving category.
