Within the handle end is a groove for protectively covering the razor blade edge after the razor has been used and the handle end separated from the body of the razor.
Claims20
A straight razor comprising:
- an elongate body having a handle end for grasping by a user during use, and a blade end, said blade end including a blade having a sharp edge protruding therefrom for shaving purposes, said handle end including an elongate groove adapted to fit over the blade after the razor has been used, said handle end and said blade end of the body being joined at an area of structural weakness so that said handle end and said blade end are separable whereby the separated handle end serves as a protective cover for the blade by placement of the blade into the groove of the handle end.
A razor comprising:
- a body having a first end and a second end, said body being formed of a singular structure so that said first and said second ends are integrally joined and made of the same material, said first end having a razor blade edge protruding therefrom, said second end adapted to be grasped during use of the razor and being separable from said body, said second end having means for serving as a protective cover for the razor blade edge after the second end is separated from the body.
A safety straight razor comprising:
- a substantially flat, elongate body characterized by two opposed planar surfaces and including an integrally formed blade end, a handle end for grasping by a user and an area of joinder of said handle end and said blade end;
- a razor blade irremovably positioned in said blade end so that it lies substantially parallel to the flat cross-section of said blade end and so that a sharp edge of the blade protrudes from one side of the blade end for shaving purposes;
- a shield removably connected to said body extending over the sharp edge of the blade for protection prior to use of the razor;
- said handle end including an elongate groove, between the two planar surfaces, of such size and shape to fit over the protruding razor blade edge;
- and
- said area of joinder being characterized by an area of structural weakness so that the handle end is separable from the body by manual hand manipulation whereby the separated handle end serves as a protective cover for the blade edge by placement of the blade edge into the groove of the handle end.
