"Gillette - The Best a Man Can Get"



You'd be surprised how many times guys have tried to use this as a pick-up line with my daughters. Regardless, for the little bit of shaving that I do (and infrequently at that), nothing will do but a Gillette Good News disposable.

Anyway, King Camp Gillette, shown here, another distant relative of mine, is the inventor of the Gillette Safety Razor. He was a bit of an eccentric himself, and was a "Utopian Socialist" and advocated that "all of industry should be taken over by a single corporation by the public and that everyone in the US should live in a a giant city called Metropolis powered by Niagara Falls."
