A razor unit having one or more razor blades, with each razor blade having a cutting edge, and a connecting device for connecting the razor blade unit to a handle, wherein the razor blade unit is mounted on the handle such that the unit is capable of swivelling in two directions to form a swivel angle relative to the handle about a swivel axis which intersects the cutting edge of the one or more razor blades and wherein the connecting device comprises at least one four-bar linkage having four sides, of which one side is arranged essentially parallel to the cutting edge and is mounted such that said side can be swivelled about an axis which is essentially parallel to the swivel axis and intersects said one side of the four-bar linkage at right angles in the center of said one side.
A connecting device for connecting a razor blade unit having one or more blades with each blade having a cutting edge, to a handle comprising at least one four-bar linkage having four sides, of which one side can be swivelled about an axis which intersects said side of the four-bar linkage and is essentially parallel to a swivel axis which intersects the cutting edge of the one of more cutting edges.
