Gillette ProGlide Razor

Gillette is a world-renowned brand specializing in safety razors and personal care products. The brand was founded in 1901 by King C. Gillette in Boston, Massachusetts, where it revolutionized personal grooming with the introduction of disposable razor blades. Its early success turned it into a staple of American manufacturing and a global leader in the shaving industry.

Today, Gillette maintains a massive production footprint with major manufacturing facilities in the United States (specifically South Boston), Germany, and Poland. These sites produce the high-precision blades and handles found in product lines like the ProGlide and Fusion series. The brand has evolved through several corporate mergers, most notably being acquired by the multinational consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble in 2005.

Now operating as a flagship brand under Procter & Gamble's Grooming division, Gillette continues to dominate the global market. The brand's ownership remains centered in Cincinnati, Ohio, where P&G is headquartered, overseeing a network of regional subsidiaries that manage distribution and local marketing across nearly every country worldwide.
