Gillette is a brand of Procter & Gamble currently used for safety razors, among other personal hygiene products. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, it is one of several brands originally owned by The Gillette Company, a leading global supplier of products under various brands, which was acquired by P&G in 2005. Their slogan is, "The Best a Man Can Get".

The original Gillette Company was founded by King C. Gillette in 1901 as a safety razor manufacturer. On October 1, 2005, Procter & Gamble finalized its purchase of The Gillette Company.

As a result of this merger, the Gillette Company no longer exists. Its last day of market trading - symbol G on the New York Stock Exchange - was September 30, 2005. The merger created the world's largest personal care and household products company.

In addition to Gillette, the company marketed under Braun, Duracell and Oral-B, among others, which have also been maintained by P&G. The Gillette Company's assets were initially incorporated into a P&G unit known internally as "Global Gillette". In July 2007, Global Gillette was dissolved and incorporated into Procter & Gamble's other two main divisions, Procter & Gamble Beauty and Procter & Gamble Household Care.

Gillette's brands and products were divided between the two accordingly.
