- In 1901, the American inventor King Camp Gillette invented a safety razor with one disposable blade. Gillette realized that a profit could be made by selling a safety razor at a reduced price and then making a nice profit margin on the (in)expensive disposable blades. As we all know, this model has been adopted by the printer industry.
- In 1971 Gillette introduced Trac II, the double-blade razor.
- In 1998 Gillette added a third blade and called it Mach 3.
- In 2003 Schick tried to catch up with its quadruple-blade Quattro.
- This year we face Gillette's Fusion with a quintuple-blade.
