Who invented the safety razor?
assistant
The safety razor was invented by King Camp Gillette in 1901. He was inspired by a visit to a barber shop in New York City, where he saw a barber using a straight razor to shave his customers. Gillette was inspired to create a new type of razor that would be safer and easier to use. He developed a razor with a replaceable blade, which was the first razor to use a disposable blade.
