Maybe that's to trim the short hairs...

A little Gillette history:

King Gillette was a socialist who just wanted to make life easier for the everyday man. Seeing that men would stop at the barber once or twice every day, he developed the razor with replaceable blades for home use. During WWI and II, his company sent free shave kits to our troops... it paid off, as returning soldiers continued using their razors for years - even decades. Many razors are sought-after: such as the revolutionary twist-to-open, adjustable Model 195 (aka "Fat Boy"), named that because it was priced at a whopping $1.95 when most razors were around 60 cents at best. It's worth it, however. I owned two of them and was simply looking for an original case when I chanced across a Gillette Aristocrat: a twist-to-open, adjustable razor, factory plated in 22k gold, with a manufacturing date code of the same summer of 1962 I was born. It's now my daily driver, along with Personna double-edge safety razor in it.

In the mid-1970s, Gillette revolutionized the industry with Atra: the first twin-blade, disposable razor cartridge. King Gillette's mission to make the everyday man's life better was so wildly successful that he died a miserable man. He hated the fact that his company made untold millions of dollars in the very free market capitalist system he had so despised.
