Gillette Razor and Shaving Products

Gillette is a global leader in the shaving and personal care industry, famously founded by King C. Gillette in 1901. The brand revolutionized the grooming market with the introduction of the safety razor with disposable blades, a business model that shifted the industry forever. Originally headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, it remained an independent American powerhouse for over a century before being acquired in a landmark deal.

Today, Gillette operates as a premier brand under the Procter & Gamble (P&G) umbrella. Manufacturing occurs in multiple countries to satisfy global demand; major blade production facilities are located in the United States (specifically Boston), Poland, Brazil, and China. While the brand maintains its historical connection to its Boston roots through research and development at the 'World Shaving Headquarters,' it is fully integrated into the corporate structure of P&G, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio.
