Two Chinese brothers have been charged with making 160,000 fake “Gillette” razor blades.

 The brothers, surnamed Zhang, were accused of assembling
Gillette Mach 3 razor blades at home with family members without the permission
from Gillette .  Authorities raided the
home on July 4 last year, confiscating more than 30,000 blades. More than
120,000 blades had been transported to Shanghai, according to the brothers'
statement, Xinhua said. It is estimated the counterfeits were worth about 2.54
million yuan ($336,000) based on the average market price.
