Abstract
A bi-directional razor device is formed of a narrow, elongated head and a transversely extending, integral hand grip formed of molded plastic material. Two pair of narrow, strip-like razor blades are embedded in the head, with one pair extending in one direction and the other pair extending in an opposite direction at an acute angle relative to the first pair. The blades extend along the length of the head. Thus, the user may move the razor head in one direction for contacting one pair of blades against the user's skin for cutting hair and then move the handle in the opposite direction while the blades remain engaged upon the skin for cutting hair in both directions.
Claims5
A bi-directional razor comprising a single unitary elongated, narrow, strip-like razor head formed of molded plastic material, and having an elongated narrow exposed face, said head having an overall generally rectangular shape with a first and second longitudinal edge and a longitudinal axis;
- an elongated, narrow, molded plastic hand grip having a single end formed integral with the head between the opposite ends of the head and extending transversely of the head and said face;
- a first, elongated, thin, narrow razor blade strip extending along the length of the head and having an inner portion embedded in the head and an integral, sharpened outer, elongated edge portion extending outwardly of the face at an acute angle relative to the face and projecting toward the first longitudinal edge away from the longitudinal axis;
- a second, elongated, thin, narrow razor blade strip substantially identical in size and shape to the first razor blade strip extending along the length of the head and having an elongated inner portion embedded in the head and an integral, sharpened outer, elongated edge portion extending outwardly of the face at an acute angle to the face and projecting toward the second longitudinal edge away from the longitudinal axis and at an acute angle relative to the first blade, so that the two blades extend in generally opposite directions towards their respective first and second edge;
- said blade edges being in a single flat plane generally parallel to said razor head;
- the razor hand grip being adapted for manually grasping and for moving the hand grip and the head in one direction along the user's skin for cutting hair extending therefrom and then for reversing the direction of movement of hand grip for moving the head in the opposite direction along the user's skin for cutting hair extending therefrom without lifting, tilting or repositioning the head from the user's skin during movements in the opposite directions;
- whereby the user of the razor may slide the razor back and forth in his own normal manner of moving a conventional razor upon his skin without changing his manner of holding the handgrip during the back and forth sliding movement upon his skin.
