THREE BLADES. ONE GILLETTE.
Everything we truly possess — without noise, without awareness — moves forward anyway.
Like time.
It doesn’t ask. It doesn’t warn.
It arrives.
A man once decided he would be remembered.
Not locally. Not temporarily.
For humanity.
One afternoon in America, he picked up a discarded blade from the ground.
Someone else had invented the bottle cap.
He saw something else.
He didn’t improve a product.
He rewrote a gesture.
Shaving became a system.
The blade became disposable.
The name became permanent.
When people bought the product,
they said his name.
Freemason.
Author of The Human Drift, 1894.
Son of a miner and a noble mother.
Raised with care. Built without limits.
At 12 years old, grown men feared him.
Not because he was violent —
because he didn’t hesitate.
One night, on the way to the cinema,
he was attacked by a group older than him.
He found a razor blade on the ground.
Picked it up.
Marked one of them across the face.
Fourteen years later:
120 candidates.
One position.
The first two negotiated.
He didn’t.
He entered Gillette Italy.
And stayed 40 years.
After retirement, nothing changed.
People still stopped him in the street.
Still recognized him.
Frega.
The man from Gillette.
The blade.
Every Monday he left early.
Every Friday he came back.
Never complained.
Never explained.
One day, he told someone I was the only son who truly resembled him.
I found out years later.
No declarations.
Only direction.
Military service.
Police exam passed.
He met me in Naples, May 1985.
It wasn’t a father-son meeting.
It wasn’t about work.
He asked me one question:
“What are you going to do with your life?”
Then I entered a consortium linked to Gillette.
Lowest role possible.
You start at the bottom
if you want to see the top.
Not the money.
Not the position.
He saw me again, in private.
He didn’t try to stop me.
He always knew it would happen.
unpredictable.
Always moving toward something better.
I left my mother Gillette.
But I didn’t lose the DNA.
Three stories.
Three moments.
Freemasonry since 1993.
Pythagoras.
Esoteric discipline.
You take raw stone
and you turn it into something that holds weight.
The mind sharpens
what the heart feeds.
I became an international manager.
Traveled the world.
Then one day
I started writing.
Not one book.
Not two.
Not ten.
Not fifty.
Not one hundred.
The system doesn’t know where to place me.
An independent author who gives everything away
is not a category.
I don’t attack the system.
But they can’t manage me.
I cannot be controlled.
I have no price.
Because I don’t sell anything.
Destiny is never expected.
But it exists.
Because it’s real.
And I’m still moving toward it.
“Three blades. One recognition.”
