At the last turn of the century, King Gillette founded what would become a corporate giant, based on a simple yet essential invention: the safety razor with disposable blades. Although his ancestors came to Massachusetts from England in 1630, King Camp Gillette was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin in 1855.

The razor-razorblade pricing strategy was popularized by the disposable safety razor inventor Gillette, which sold razors at cost and replacement blades for a profit. The gaming industry employs this strategy by selling gaming machines at cost or a loss and their complimentary video games for profit.

Brett Favre, in full Brett Lorenzo Favre, (born October 10, 1969, Gulfport, Mississippi, U.S.), American professional gridiron football player who broke all the major National Football League (NFL) career passing records as quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.

Brett Favre is known as one of the finest NFL quarterbacks ever. In a career spanning nearly two decades, most of it with the Green Bay Packers, he won a Super Bowl and three MVP trophies, earned 11 Pro Bowl nods, and set the all-time record for the most consecutive starts.

Solid gold and copper razors have been found in Egyptian tombs of the 4th millennium bce. According to the Roman historian Livy, the razor was introduced in Rome in the 6th century bce by Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, legendary king of Rome; but shaving did not become customary until the 5th century bce.

In prehistoric times clam shells, shark teeth, and flint were sharpened and used to shave with. Drawings of such blades were found in prehistoric caves. Some tribes still use blades made of flint to this day. Excavations in Egypt have unearthed solid gold and copper razors in tombs dating back to the 4th millennium BC.

With a multi-blade razor or shaver, the first blade catches the hair, dragging it in the right direction, while subsequent blades cut the hair. This means you need a minimum of two blades to create an effective and close home shave.

Five blades (at the right distance apart), rather than three, reduces that bulge, which means the skin is more even, with bulging reduced by more than 30% (Fusion5 vs. Mach3). As a result, you get a close, comfortable shave, and you're less likely to cut yourself.

Brett Favre is NFL's all-time leader in every significant career passing category - touchdowns (442), completions (5,377), attempts (8,758) and yards (61,555). Granted, over 17 seasons, you're going to compile big numbers.

Favre helped redirect federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) money to pay for a new volleyball arena at his alma mater, Southern Mississippi, where his daughter played for the team, as well as to a medical company, Prevacus, in which he had invested $250,000.
