Razor firm seeks independence after buyout bid failure
After the FTC blocked Philip Morris from selling American Safety Razor to Bic Pen, 275 workers were laid off. John R. Baker leads a steering team to buy the company with $16.75 million, aided by $9 million from Virginia banks, a $250,000 state grant, and a $6 million federal loan, aiming to revive jobs and boost advertising. The move tests if independence offers more growth than remaining in a conglomerate.
