Didn't Gillette did the same thing with Dollar Shave Club?

I would guess that this influenced their decision to sell to P&G, thus protecting the razor duopoly.

They sold to Unilever not P&G.
Anyone know if Harry's is owned by P&G or Unilever?
The company, HF Global, Inc., is privately held, and as far as I can tell with a Google search, no other razor company owns a majority of the stock, or any stock at all.
