King Camp Gillette was an American businessman who lived from January 5, 1855 to July 9, 1932.  He created a popular version of the safety razor. Before Gillette's creation, there were other versions. The tiny, affordable, disposable stamped steel blade was Gillette's breakthrough. Gillette is incorrectly credited with developing the "razor and blades" business strategy, in which razors are marketed inexpensively in order to boost the demand for blades. Gillette Safety Razor Company, on the other hand, embraced the business strategy of its rivals.
