I want those three minutes of my life back! It would have been four, but I stopped watching at the Mach 3 power.

The editing was sloppy where they talk about low-priced razors while the camera is drooling over an engraved NEW De Luxe, and they left out all the really juicy bits. What about the times in 1902 and 1904 when they nearly went bankrupt? Or the patent suit in 1929 and the subsequent disclosure that they had been cooking their sales figures? Those were the events that made company history.
