According to historical accounts, we know that Napoleon was terrified of shaving with an open razor. His barber had to be very careful. This juicy tidbit was used by Gillette in their advertising poster in the early 20th century. According to Gillette, the Gillette safety razor was used at that time by many well-known and great world leaders. Also, the great generals and 3 million men in the trenches at the front of World War I shave daily.
Since the reintroduction of the safety razor by Manandshaving in 2009, we know that various well-known Belgians and Dutchmen shave daily with the safety razor. And now more than 100,000 men use a safety razor from Manandshaving.
Since then, shaving has become for many men not a necessary evil but a pleasant ritual or a 'happy note' in the morning.
