Abstract
The shaving implement comprises a housing having a plurality of apertures through a shaving surface, each aperture containing a razor assemblage. Each assemblage includes a soap bar guard and a razor blade connected to one another and mounted for angular and linear floating movement in the housing on a resilient pad. The soap bar guard extends beyond the periphery of the cutting edge of the blade and defines an annular opening for receiving debris from the shaving action. The razor blade is circular and may be flat, dished or concave or have an annular planar margin with a cup-shaped depression so that the connection between the blade and guard lies below the plane containing the razor edge.

A shaving implement, comprising:
- a housing having a surface with a plurality of apertures therethrough and a marginal portion of said housing about each said aperture;
- a body formed of resilient material disposed within said housing;
- a razor assemblage carried by said housing for disposition in each of said apertures and including in each assemblage a guard and a blade;
- each said guard having an outwardly directed flange about its periphery and upper and lower surfaces;
- means including said flange and said marginal portion for retaining each said guard in a corresponding aperture of said housing with a lower surface of said guard engaging said resilient material;
- said razor blade having a cutting edge about its periphery;
- and
- means for securing said guard and said blade one to the other.
