In 1904 a patent was granted to King C. Gillette for a safety razor. Gillette is still the most famous brand for quality razors and razor systems. The company works hard to bring innovative products that live up to their famous slogan ‘the best a man can get’. Of course Gillette also makes shaving products for women too, but their men’s range will always remain their best seller.
You can still purchase a plain straight edge razor from Gillette, but most men now choose one of the more advanced systems. The Gillette mach 3 is still very popular. The Mach 3 turbo and the M3 power are also part of the Mach 3 series. The razor blades used are interchangeable within any razors in the series.
Many men are now turning to the Fusion Chrome collection. One of the great features of the fusion chrome is a built in light. The light means that you are not going to miss those spots that are otherwise hidden in shadow.
The Fusion range features 5 razor blades while the Mach series uses 3. Some models in both ranges use the popular PowerGlide blades. The Fusion range also features a precision trimmer for reaching tricky spots. The Mach 3 series has 10 microfins while the Fusion range has 15.
Gillette’s website gives some good comparisons of these two main products and the advantages of each feature. You can also find out the qualities of any chosen razor blade that is available from Gillette – all blades are not made equal. The Gillette site also has some great information on personal grooming, including body shaving. For men who consider shaving an art rather than a daily chore this is an interesting site to visit.
If you are looking for a gift for a special man in your life a shaving system from Gillette would be a good choice. They have some lovely gift packs available for the discerning shaver.
The company’s dedication to advanced techniques and products related to personal grooming are appreciated by men in many countries. While shaving fads and fashions come and go Gillette is still ‘The best a man can get’.
