Imagine if Gillette Reissued DE Razors Today?

Funny. I was thinking about this today. My guess is that they'd be made to certain specs in China.

It would be sweet to have a made in USA Gillette of high quality though they would not likely have mass market appeal due to pricing., IMO.

Mass market appeal by 1% depends on pricing. The rest 99% depends on the marketing. I guess Lenin said that at XX Congress of the Russian Communist Party in 1921.

I emailed P&G regarding the possible re-introduction of DE razors a couple of weeks ago. I no longer have the email, but basically they said they had no intention of producing them again.

A Gillette reintroduction of DE razors would suggest that a DE razor delivers a quality shave at a fraction of the cost of a battery powered $4 a piece 5-bladed aloe encrusted plastic cartridge. That would certainly hinder the development of the latest octal-bladed model.

They might consider it if we recommend an adjustable DE with rubberized handle, led light for proper viewing, digital readout of the blade angle, position, and a reminder light to change the blade.....Don't forget the replacement aloe strips that go on the silo doors.....

If you look at Bed Bath and Beyond, the Gillette blades are something like $7 for 10, so that's already a bargain waiting to be exploited!



Now THAT'S improvement!

i started shaving in the '50s and Gillette practically gave their razors away and relied on the continual blade replacement buying to make their money. i love my vintage slim adjustable and i don't think Gillette could make anything with that quality that's economical.

there's always a plan B
