Abstract
A safety razor comprises one or more blade members presenting a plurality of cutting edges, and a holder of readily deformable material surrounding the blade member (or members). The edges being displaceable, relative to each other, to follow local deformation of the material.
Claims16
A safety razor comprising
- a holder
- multi-edged blade means mounted in said holder, and
- said holder having a skin-engaging surface of material that is resilient and readily deformable that surrounds said blade means,
- different edges of said blade means being displaceable relative to each other to follow local deformation of said skin-engaging surface.
A safety razor in which a multi-edged blade means is mounted in a holder which presents a skin-engaging surface of material that is resilient and readily deformable surrounding the blade means,
- different edges of the blade means being displaceable, relative to each other, to follow local deformation of the said surface,
- said holder comprising a shaped block of plastics foam material of material that is resilient and readily deformable.
A safety razor in which a multi-edged blade means is mounted in a holder which presents a skin-engaging surface of material that resilient and readily deformable surrounding the blade means,
- different edges of the blade means being displaceable, relative to each other, to follow local deformation of the said surface,
- said holder comprising a body of a soft material covered by a layer of a different material which forms the said surface of material that is resilient and readily deformable.
A safety razor comprising a holder,
- multi-edged blade means mounted in said holder,
- said holder having a skin-engaging surface that surrounds said blade means, and
- said holder being formed with a cavity in which said blade means is housed and with through holes connecting said cavity with the outside of said holder to facilitate the escape of the shaving debris,
- different edges of said blade means being displaceable relative to each other to follow local deformation of said skin-engaging surface.
A safety razor comprising
- a holder and
- multi-edged blade means mounted in said holder, said blade means comprising thin flexible metal foil blade means having a plurality of apertures whose edges are sharpened to constitute individual edges of said blade means,
- said holder having a skin-engaging surface that surrounds said blade means,
- different edges of said blade means being displaceable relative to each other to follow local deformation of said skin-engaging surface.
