  • Patent number: 5461780
    Abstract: A simple, purely mechanical, hand-held yet handleless, do-it-yourself hair trimming device employing conventional razor blades and operable by a typical combing motion. The blades are sandwiched between a base element and a mating backing element, both of which have one or more arrays of comb-like teeth and the backing element may be a comb per se. The base and back elements are disengagably adjustably secured together by a spring-loaded thumb screw/cup nut configuration which allows ease of blade replacement and versatility through user selection from multiple tooth array/blade edge combinations, intended to maximize the efficiency of the cut with regard to the various different areas of the head.
