about 1770.
• It was first conceptualised
by Frenchman Jean-Jacques
Perret in 1770.

carpenter's plane and it
was made up of a wooden
enclosure for a blade that

THE BIRTH OF THE IDEA OF SELF-SHAVING

4. INTRODUCTION OF STAR
• The next real step in the razors
evolution was courtesy the
Kampfhe brothers. In 1880.
• This razor, now a lot bulkier,
was the innovation for the
modern handle-based razor
design.
• It had a removable
handle, head and guard along
the blade lining, Titled the
Star.
• The blade still needed
sharpening after every few
uses.

5. DISPOSABLE BLADES

salesman introduced the
idea of a razor having
double-edged disposable
blades
• It came in existence about
1895.

6. BLADES OF STAINLESS STEEL
• It came to market about
1960.
• Firstly Gillette started
using stainless steel for
their blades.
• These were more
expensive to produce,
but they were more
stable and didn't rust.

7. DOUBLE EDGE SHAVER
• To tackle the issue of shaving
the same area over and over
again, Gillette innovated again
a two-blade shaving system
called the Trac II.
• This gave a cleaner, closer
shave with minimum effort.

system also that made
changing blades much easier.

head as well as a lubricating
trip for a smooth shave.

lubrication for a smoother
shave.
