I was just glancing at this Gillette Mach 3 “M3 Power” box of razor refills. It contains the following text on the back, and overflowing on the bottom tab:
U.S. Patent Nos./ Nos de brevets américains:

No less than 43 patents about a shaver and shaving blade. Absolutely amazing. (It took a long time to type all those!)
