Hi Edwin,
It's not just secrets. On a trivia show one time they mentioned that there
were more patents issued/pending on shaving gear than any other household
item. Cheers, JG

and I nicked myself, again, a question of the obvious struck me. How do
they sharpen
razor blades?

It's a secret. Honest. Gillette in Boston was a customer of mine. It is the
only company where I could not get into the plant. They never discussed
things like that at all. Only think I know is that the material is in a
band and then cut.

They did have a group of employees that came to work everyday and shaved on
company time. They evaluated new razors and did durability tests on
existing ones.
