Gillette's razor came out a couple of years after the Brownie and was a relatively expensive purchase. The Brownie came preloaded with film good for 6 shots. You sent the whole thing back for processing and a new roll of film. The camera was $1, processing was $0.40, and the film was $0.15. I had the ubiquitous bakelite Brownie as a kid but Somehow got one of the original #2 Brownies from somebody's dusty attic, I forget where. It worked but by then the film was an oddity. I also had the developing kit with a small canister that you poured the chemicals in that removed the need for a darkroom. I don't know if turning a kid loose with a bunch of chemicals would trigger a visit by CPS in today's nanny state.
