The Gillette Company was born in September 1901 as The American Safety Razor Co. By the next June the name was changed to the Gillette Safety Razor Co.
Gillette acually started selling razors in 1903 with a three piece razor consisting of a two part blade holder with a screw on handle called the Standard and Old Type which used a blade with 3 holes in it.

Around the end of the 1920’s the slotted blade came out. The New, New Improved and Tech were all three piece razors that used the slotted blade. Then in the end of the 1940’s they went on to a twist to open (TTO) type razor with trap doors called the Super Speed with many variations. The adjustable razor was made in the late 1950’s where you turned a dial on the handle which adjusted the blade angle. They also made a Techmatic in 1965 which used an injector blade but only lasted a few years. And a few one year only razors such as the TV, Toggle and the 195 model were made. Some where in the mid 1970’s Gillette stopped making the double edge razors in the U.S.A.
