Abstract
A straight edge razor enables the operator to move the blade between two different settings—a first setting that hides the two sharp corners of the blade, and a second setting that exposes the two sharp corners. The first setting can make shaving a client or oneself an easy task. In the second setting, the razor can be used as a tool for easily sharpening up lines on a haircut. The razor of the present invention also allows the operator to take the device apart for cleaning and replacing a damaged part.
