Well built safety razors are great from a consumer viewpoint. They are likely to outlive their users, they are easy to maintain, and razor blades can be bought from a big market with healthy competition. In 1964, Gillette started developing their first cartridge razor, featuring a plastic cartridge containing two razor blades[2]. This was the start of what might be the earliest example of what is referred to as "two-part pricing"[3].
