Theres always schick, bic, norelco and all electrics, and generics.

We also just started selling a new razor for women under the name "Veet" it supposed to be a bladeless shaving system, the razors have rubber heads and you apply a lotion similar to Nair and it loosens the hair at the root. Then you "shave" with the rubber razor and it pulls the hair free.

Don't forget the bag-o-cheap yellow bic razors.. with only one blade

True, I tried Shick Quattro but it is t3h sux.
I personally prefer it over the Mach3..
I like how they put the thin wires over the razor so it doesn't give you razor burn.

Every move is smooth. Every word is cool. You shoot, you score. You speak, they listen. You win, they go home. Yeah. I never want to lose that feelin'. Gillete - the best a man can get

Oh? I have the Mach 3 power... seems to be my favorite. The quattro seemed to tear at my skin... so there you have it.

Or perhaps a bigger advertising budget?

If you like Gillete better than any other of their competition, then they have earned their place. You can't call it a monopoly when people choose something because it is good.

True, but it was a valid question? No?

i tried Shick Quattro, i use to use those disposable 3 blade shicks and they were god, the ones advertised by agasy? that tennis player. The mach 3 turbo just works really well.
Unless you meant an overall monopoloy because Gillette (or the company that owns it) pretty much owns everything else out there

It is somehow a monopoly, and it is enforced by patents. However, while the playing field is not totally fair for everyone, I think there is enough competition. Remember, Intel is not a monopoly as AMD is able to ship 15% of microprocessors for PC (ok, 18% or so)
