King Camp Gillette was an American businessman born in 1855, best known for founding the Gillette razor company. He revolutionized shaving by introducing the safety razor in 1901, which featured disposable blades. This innovation made shaving safer and more convenient for men, leading to widespread adoption. Gillette's vision extended beyond just razors; he aimed to create a brand that emphasized quality and affordability. His marketing strategies, including the use of free samples and promotional offers, helped establish Gillette as a household name. Today, the company remains a leader in the shaving industry, continuing Gillette's legacy.
