Gillette Co. in Boston performs research on some 500 male employees who report to work stubble-faced every morning and subject themselves to nicks and scrapes. The experimental shaves provide the company with the kind of data that resulted in the introduction two months ago of a new blade-angle adjustment on its bestselling Techmatic Razor.
