Scenario 10.1
Use the following to answer the questions.
Gillette shaving razors were first manufactured in 1895. Over the years, Gillette made improvements on their razors offering many "firsts" such as the Mach3, the Sensor, and the Fusion. For many years, women were forced to use razors designed primarily for men, but often marketed to women by offering them in different colors and with minimal modifications.

The Gillette product line, now owned by Procter & Gamble, continues to introduce new versions of the Venus, such as the Venus Embrace, which has additional blades and other modifications.
