	Safety Razors
		Gillette learned that the path to fortune was to invent a product that was not intended to be re-used, but instead used once and disposed of, assuring a steady stream of buyers and repeat sales.
		Once the king of all safety razors, this was the model that most of our fathers and grandfathers learned to shave with and the model that Gillette's fortunes were founded on.
		Bearing in mind what King Gillette's original concept was based upon - his supplying the replacement blades, the double edge razor fell out of favor with Gillette when hundreds of other manufacturers both in the US and Worldwide began producing a wide variety of replacement blades that fit Gillette's razor.
