Abstract: A razor is disclosed characterized by ready interchangeability and safe stability of the blade, a proper protection of the blade during shaving and at inoperative periods, as well as a more "anatomic" handle. A longitudinally extending sheath is connected to a blade handle. The sheath is formed of a single piece of resilient material forming a pair of longitudinally extending wall portions, and a blade holder is disposed between the wall portions of the sheath. A first longitudinally extending section of the sheath is formed with wall portions which converge toward their distal longitudinal edges.
