Historical information

The modern safety razor was introduced in England in 1828, enabling men to shave at home without the need to visit the barber. American businessman King Camp Gillette invented the disposable razor blade in 1895, doing away with the need to sharpen the razor before every use. Six years later, Gillette patented the disposable blade safety razor in 1901.
