This is for the Gillette company specialists.
I see that everyone has variants of the standard three piece. But many Chinese and Indian firms also knockoff the Super Speed TTO. Are the Fatboy and Slim Adjustable protected by patent? Is it possible to produce a modern razor with the same basic adjustment mechanism (albeit a slightly different overall design) or is this patent controlled? Or are they simply too expensive to produce economically in small numbers?
What do we know about this for sure?
