On November 15, 1904, King C. Gillette patented the Gillette razor blade. Men and women still use the disposable razor blades today. Nothing twisted about this post except FOR HIS NAME! Somebody’s momma named their baby King. What did they name the dog? Emerson?

His grandson, King Gillette II, later invaded and conquered Paper Mate, further expanding their empire of products. Share this post, if you think maybe they took that whole ‘King’ thing just a little too seriously.
