Abstract
A safety razor having two independent separate shaving heads for shaving with and against the grain by pulling the handle of the razor across a working surface, then turning the handle about its longitudinal axis and using the other head by pushing the handle to shave against the grain. The shaving head used by pulling is mounted at an angle with respect to the handle and the head used by pushing is mounted substantially parallel to the handle.
Claims6
A razor having oppositely acting shaving heads comprising:
- a handle having first and second opposite sides, a first blade attached to said handle and extending from said handle over said first side so that the cutting edge of said first blade is directed for use in a first direction at an angle with respect to said handle, a second blade attached to said handle extending from said handle over the second of said sides so that the cutting edge of said second blade is directed in a second direction which is substantially parallel to said handle and which is substantially opposite to said first direction.
A safety razor comprising:
- a handle having first and second ends and first and second opposite sides, a first shaving blade having its cutting edge attached to said handle at said first end at an angle with respect to said handle and in a direction towards said second end and extending towards said first side, and a second shaving blade attached to said handle at said first end opposite to said first shaving blade and extending towards said second side and having its cutting edge in a direction away from said second end.
In a shaving razor having a handle with first and second sides and a shaving blade head attached to the first side of said handle at an angle with respect to one side of said handle for shaving in a first direction by pulling on said handle;
- the improvement comprising a second shaving blade head attached to the second side of said handle so that it is substantially parallel to the other side of said handle for shaving in the opposite direction by pushing on said handle.
