    Has Mr Razor just added this to his site?

    As one who was sad to see Gillette being bought out by P&C, I'm simply confused as to whether or not Gillette is still here in Boston or somewhere else.

    Remember the prototype razor was developed in the absence of a working blade which Nickerson and his folks would need some considerable time to sort out.

    The old Gillette headquarter is in Boston, the P&G headquarter is in Cincinnati. The Boston plant still works.

    Thank you Achim! That's about as authentic as it gets.

    I love the new photos and information. Great addition to your site. He told me he got to meet with you. He was the the one who gave me the adjustable razor prototype photos as well. I really appreciate the outreach and P&G working with the collector community.

    He was at a meeting at the P & G Gillette plant in Berlin. He asked me where I live in Germany. He was very surprised that I also live in Berlin and worked for 36 years in the Berlin Gillette plant. So our meeting was easy. He shows me the Adjustable Prototypes pictures too and told me, that he had contacted you too.
