The document summarizes the development of the modern razor from its origins in the late 18th century to recent innovations. It traces key developments such as the first conceptualization of a razor with a removable blade by Jean-Jacques Perret in 1770. In the late 19th century, the Kampfhe brothers introduced the first modern handle-based razor design called the Star. King C. Gillette introduced disposable double-edged blades in 1895. Gillette went on to introduce innovations such as the use of stainless steel blades in the 1960s, the first multi-blade systems in the 1970s and 2000s, and the latest shaver with flexible ball technology.

3. • This came in existence
about 1770.
• It was first conceptualised
by Frenchman Jean-Jacques
Perret in 1770.
• This was inspired by a
carpenter's plane and it
was made up of a wooden
enclosure for a blade that
only allowed a small
portion to protrude out.
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
• King C. Gillette, a travelling
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.
• It was a cartridge-based
system also that made
changing blades much easier.
• This came in existence about
1971.

8. TRIPLE PLAY SHAVER
• Promising a closer shave
than any two-blade razor,
this one had a tilting
head as well as a lubricating
trip for a smooth shave.
• In 2001, this was highly
successful series the Mach 3
Turbo, which added extra
lubrication for a smoother
shave.
• It came in market about
1998.

featuring a five-blade
shaving surface on the
front and a single blade
precision trimmer on
the back was launched.
• It came in existence
near about 2005.

• Gillette's latest innovation,
with Flex-Ball Technology now
treats your face as a 3D
surface and gives the most
advanced form of shaving
experience.

now reduced upto 15%.
