Gillette Shaving Cassettes

Gillette shaving cartridges are products designed for a comfortable and safe shave. They are produced for reuse of machines manufactured according to the most modern standards.

The name "Gillette" symbolizes quality products for shaving. Different machines with cassettes for men and women are firmly rooted in the everyday life of each family. Today it is difficult to imagine that even at the beginning of the last century, the ideas of the company's founder, King Kemp Gillette, seemed to many to be fantastic.

At the time of the creation of his own company, Gillett was a traveling salesman, offering goods from his father's hardware store. In 1895, he discovered on the train how uncomfortable it was to use a straight razor on the road. The blade, which had become dull, was unusable, a master was needed for sharpening.

A new idea was to carry cheap machine tools with disposable blades. Such a shaving device could always be thrown away and a new one taken, with a sharp blade. Realization of the idea of ​​Gillette became possible thanks to another discovery - the engineer Nickerson offered the businessman the technology of fast and high-quality sharpening of steel tape for blades.

An improved razor with replaceable blades has gained popularity over several years. This was facilitated by the safety of the device - in contrast to the dangerous razor, a short blade could only be cut a little. In addition, practical Americans appreciated the cheapness of the new product compared to the services of a barber shop.

The real success came to the company after in 1918 the US Army bought several tens of millions of Gillette branded machine tools for the soldiers. By this time, King Gillett was a millionaire, and sales amounted to half a million units per year.

By the end of the twentieth century, the company has already produced many items, including the famous one-time floating head machines with a gel strip. The climb to the top of commercial Olympus continued and led to the absorption of brands such as Parker, Oral-B and Duracell. In 2005, Gillette became part of the commercial giant. Procter & Gamble, being sold for 57 billion dollars.

Disposable machines are not designed for long term use. Both inexpensive originals and more expensive ones with removable cassettes are quickly blunt. Nevertheless, it is not always possible to change the cartridge, and the cost affects the choice - it is easy to throw it away, but you can still try to sharpen it.

The opportunity to extend the life of a blunted female and male machine exists. On each used blade, small deformations appear that interfere with the work. They need to get rid of to make it several times sharper. What should be done:

1. Spread out the jeans, turning them inside out. Under them, place an object with a smooth surface, less wide than the sharp part of the cassette. Otherwise, its edges will cling and interfere.
2. Start the movement of the blade on the fabric on the subject. To sharpen the blade, you first need to direct the cassette from yourself at least 50 times, then change the direction of motion to the opposite, having spent the same amount of time on jeans.
3. Grinding is complemented by cleaning between blades with a toothpick or needle. This removes deeply stuck setae.
4. A strip of leather from the unpainted side will suit instead of denim. Well sharpen the machine on a leather belt for straightening razors. In this case, there will be a resultant fewer times - 20-30 movements in one direction.
