KENT OPULENCE SILVER-TIPPED SHAVING BRUSH
When It All Began
It all started with early man, maybe prehistoric man, started the task of removing facial hair. The reason he started is not known. Perhaps for appearance, or safety (with the discovery of fire, a hairy face could spell disaster), or an attraction to the opposite gender. No one knows for sure.
Sharpened rocks, bones and clamshells may very well have been used to perform this initial human ritual. The Egyptians, and later Greeks & Romans, shaved their beards and heads. It is not known if this was done to show loyalty to their king or ruler, or because long hair and beard
 s would interfere in combat.
King Camp Gillette (1855-1932), was using a Star Safety razor when the idea of a disposal razor blade popped in to his head. His razor was a different type of safety razor that used disposal blades. Blades that would not require stropping or hand sharpening and would be disposed of and replaced with a new blade after they became dull.
'Make money by selling a product that is disposed of after use and replaced', a theory that the owner of Crown Cork & Seal Co., instilled into Gillette's inventive mind. So, since that day in 1895, man has shaved relentlessly to improve his appearance by removing facial hair and also, as for modern man, shaving the top of his head.
