The Evolution of the Razor Handle
The earliest razor handles were very simple: a razor was just a single blade fixed to a straight handle. Times have changed, and razor technology has improved, driven by Gillette’s ongoing quest for a closer, more comfortable shave.

Men understand, and have come to expect, advances in blade technology, with features such as number of blades, the sharpness of blade tips, and lubrication strips.

Controlling Your Shave

Your hand on the razor handle controls your shave. If your hand is uncomfortable while gripping the razor, or slips because of poor design, this reduces the amount of control that you have during your shave.

Gillette razor handles are also sculpted to fit comfortably in your hand for the duration of your shave, as well as being easy to rotate between your fingers – to alternate between shaving and trimming with the precision trimmer blade on the back of your razor cartridge.
Improving Upon the Razor Handle with the Power Handle
