                        AMENDMENT NO. 5 ON SCHEDULE 13G

This Statement on Schedule 13G (the "Schedule 13G") relating to the common
stock, par value $.01 per share, of Duracell International Inc. ("Duracell")
as previously filed by DI Associates, L.P. and KKR Partners II, L.P., is
hereby amended and supplemented with respect to the item set forth below.  

Item 4.  Ownership

        (a)  Amount Beneficially Owned

             DI Associates, L.P. and KKR Partners II, L.P. are
        Delaware limited partnerships whose sole general partner is KKR
        Associates, a New York limited partnership.  On December 31, 1996,
        Alaska Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Gillette
        Company ("Gillette"), was merged (the "Merger") with and into Duracell
        and each share of common stock of Duracell, par value $.01 per share,
        was converted into the right to receive 0.904 shares of common stock of
        Gillette, par value $1.00 per share.  As a result of the Merger, all of
        the shares of common stock of Duracell previously owned by DI
        Associates, L.P. and KKR Partners II, L.P. were converted into shares
        of common stock of Gillette in the manner described above and such
        entities no longer beneficially own any shares of common stock of
        Duracell.  

       (b)  Percent of Class

                         See item 11 of each cover page

       (c)  Number of shares as to which such person has:

            (i)  sole power to vote or to direct the vote

                         See Item 5 of each cover page 

           (ii)  shared power to vote or to direct the vote

                         See Item 6 of each cover page

           (iii)  sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of

                         See Item 7 of each cover page

           (iv)  shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of

                         See Item 8 of each cover page 

Item 5.  Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class

         If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of
the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner
of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following  [X]. 

                                  See Item 4.
