King Gillette Developed Disposable Razor Blade and Founded Gillette Company
King C. Gillette developed the idea of a disposable razor blade in 1895 to replace traditional blades that required sharpening. Collaborating with engineer William Emery Nickerson, Gillette helped create machinery to manufacture thin, replaceable blades. The Gillette Safety Razor Company was formed in 1901, and commercial production began in 1903. In 1904, Gillette received a US patent for the safety razor, revolutionizing shaving by introducing a practical, disposable blade design.
