Gillette Shaving Cassettes

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

The Gillette name stands for quality shaving products. Various machines with cassettes for men and women are firmly rooted in the everyday life of every family. Today it is hard to imagine that even at the beginning of the last century the ideas of the founder of the company, King Kemp Gillett, seemed to many a fantasy.

At the time of the creation of his own company, Gillette worked as a traveling salesman, selling goods from his father's hardware store. In 1895, on a train, he discovered how inconvenient it was to use a straight razor on the road. A blade that became dull was unusable and needed a master to sharpen.

The new idea was to carry around cheap machines with disposable blades. Such a shaving device could always be thrown away and a new one with a sharp blade could be taken. The implementation of Gillette's idea became possible thanks to another discovery - engineer Nickerson offered the businessman a technology for fast and high-quality sharpening of steel tape for blades.

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

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

By the end of the 20th century, the company was already producing many items, including the famous disposable machines with a floating head and a gel strip. The ascent to the top of the commercial Olympus continued and led to the takeover 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.

The advent of modern safe machines has led to the fact that men are no longer afraid of shaving. However, if you do not follow the rules for using these devices to get rid of excess hair on the face and body, you can cut yourself, cause redness and irritation. Correct usage algorithm:

1. It is mandatory to apply the gel. Most modern machine models have a strip with this cosmetic, but it is not enough. For a full-fledged action on the skin, foam must be applied in sufficient volume, otherwise irritation cannot be avoided.
2. Prepare your face do not start the process without moisturizing and, ideally, warming up the skin. The pores open when steaming the face and neck, after which the hairs are removed with greater ease. If you have sensitive skin, use a special oil, the film of it will not allow the razor to injure the skin.
3. Rinse the razor with cold water before shaving. The touch of the blade will be more gentle.

1. Study the pattern of hair growth on your face. To do this, try running your finger over a three-day stubble. It will prick if you move your hand against the growth of the hair. Otherwise, the finger will slide smoothly over the face.
2. Take your time and don't try to get the perfect result right away. To ensure that the skin in hard-to-reach areas is shaved, pull it up by lifting and turning your head. Do not press the razor when using, it is more efficient to change the direction.
3. After shaving, rinse again with cool water. Rinse the foam and hair thoroughly from your face. After the pores of the skin are narrowed from cold water, you can use the lotion.

Many of them were produced as modified analogues of male models of machine tools, in no way inferior to them technically.

Famous Series Venus is a three-leaf analog Mach 3, and "Venus Embrace" copies "M3 Power" with three blades and vibration mode. "Venus Divine" according to its characteristics, it repeats the famous Mach 3 Turbo machine.

In order for shaving to be effective, experts recommend that women and girls first take a shower or a warm bath and steam out the skin.After this procedure, it is easy and without pressure to use the device for shaving the legs, armpits and bikini area. Legs are shaved from the ankle towards the knee, armpits - in all directions.

When treating a skin area in the bikini area, they act with extreme caution, first shaving the hairs in the direction of growth, and then, for impeccable cleanliness, against their growth. According to most women, the smoothness of the skin after hair removal directly depends on the number of blades in the machine. Therefore, the newest models with several blades and interchangeable cassettes have gained popularity. Compatibility of cartridges with pens of any models and interchangeability of parts is another advantage of branded products from the brand.

For the appearance on the shelves of stores of disposable machines from the company Bic Gillette responded with the release of a series of women's machines "Sensor 3 Sensitive", "Satin Care" and Gillette Blue II For Women. The latter are highly competitive in the market, which has allowed the brand to regain its leading position.

Disposable machines are not designed for a long period of use. Both inexpensive originals and more expensive ones with removable cassettes quickly become dull. 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.

There is an opportunity to extend the life of a dull female and male machine tool. On every used blade, small deformations appear that interfere with work. You need to get rid of them to make it several times sharper. What should be done:

1. Lay out your jeans, turning them inside out. Place an object with a flat surface under them, less in width than the sharp part of the cassette. Otherwise, its edges will cling and interfere.
2. Start moving the blade across the fabric on the object. To sharpen the blade, you need to first direct the cassette away from you at least 50 times, then change the direction of movement to the opposite by passing the same number of times through the jeans.
3. Grinding is complemented by cleaning between the blades with a toothpick or needle. This removes deeply stuck bristles.
4. Instead of denim, a strip of leather on the undyed side is suitable. It is good to sharpen the machine on a leather belt for straightening straight razors. In this case, fewer times will be effective - 20-30 movements in one direction.
