A Brief History of DE Razors

The first double edged razor is believed to have been invented in the late 18th century by a Frenchman named Jean-Jacques Perret, and a similar model was also made in Sheffield, England in the 1820s. In 1901, US inventors King Camp Gillette and William Nickerson invented a razor with disposable blades. Gillette’s brand proved remarkably popular, with sales reaching 90,000 de razors and 123,000 blades by 1904.

In 1965 Wilkinson Sword sneaked ahead of Gillette in the market by switching from easily-rusting carbon steel blades to stainless steel, allowing for much more usage. Gillette then had to follow suit. These razors began to be phased out in the early 1970s with the introduction of replaceable blade cartridges. Gillette then brought out its first double edged blade in cartridge form. Meanwhile, Bic entered the market in 1974 with a fully disposable model.

At the turn of the millennium, Gillette introduced the triple blade cartridge, sparking the blade wars to bring out the shaver with the most blades: hence the Schick Quattro and now the five-blade Gillette Fusion. With the blade wars getting out of hand Goodfella is turning back the clock, in our opinion you only need one blade to deliver a great shave and all our customers agree.
