I’m getting my head round the history of cartridge razors and could use some help from you guys on this forum.
Here’s the timeline as I currently understand it:
1970: First cartridge - Wilkinson Bonded Blade
1971: First twin blade - Gillette Trac II
1976: First disposable - Gillette Good News
1977: First pivoting head - Gillette Atra
1990: First spring blades - Gillette Sensor
1993: First microfin strip - Gillette Sensor Excel
1998: First triple blade - Gillette Mach 3
2004: First four blade - Schick Quattro
2006: First five blade - Gillette Fusion
2012: First six blade - Dorco Pace 6
2014: First laterally pivoting handle - Gillette Flexball
2018: First seven blade - Dorco Classic
When was the lubrastrip introduced?
Was that with the Trac II Plus or the Atra Plus? And what year?
And what other developments have there been?
Wow - it’s nearly 50 years of carts now!
