  • Patent number: 9919441
    Abstract: A guard is provided to fit over a blade-retaining portion of a razor configured for wet shaving. The guard may comprise a frame defined by top and bottom rails, vertically spaced by first and second side edges and a plurality of elongated members defining a grate. Means for compressibly securing the guard over the blade-retaining portion of a razor chosen from a disposable and cartridge-type razor are disposed along the length of at least one of the top and bottom rails. When disposed over the blade retaining portion, the grate portion of the guard spaces any blades retained in the razor from the surface of a user's skin while still leaving such blades at least partially exposed to the user's facial or body hair. This enables a user to trim, rather than fully shave, his hair and further protects the user's skin from the harmful effects of close shaving.

  • Publication number: 20090019700
    Abstract: A dual purpose razor blade comprising a substantially V-shaped detachable gauge attached to a disposable shaving razor. The gauge comprises two inclined surfaces creating a lip. The lip has a plurality of openings going thorough it creating a comb-like effect. The blade is positioned in close proximity to the openings in the lip, wherein the line of the blade is substantially parallel to the lip and further positioned substantially in the middle of the openings. Whenever the lip of the gauge is stroke against hair, only the hair that enters the openings meets the blade and is consequently being cut. Thus hair thinning effect is achieved. Detaching the gauge leaves the user with a regular shaving razor, both shaving and hair thinning in the same device.

  • Patent number: 5450671
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for trimming and thinning hair through the maximum utilization of the slicing capacity of a straight razor. By employing a triangular, dualistic blade and comb configuration, the device channels and cuts the hair with an oblique, slicing motion without pulling or resisting the hair in any way. The device is comprised of a triangular body unit with two side walls, each extending the length of one of the longer body edges and raised vertically from the body. These walls form closed housing, each of which shelters a razor blade. In from of each razor is a series of combs which channel the hair evenly into the blades. The triangular shape of the device acts as a further channeling means, bringing hair into the wide end, through the combs to the blade edges and then out the narrow back end.

  • Patent number: 4614032
    Abstract: The hair-cutting appliance comprises a blade held interchangeably in a two-piece housing and located between a stationary row of teeth at the edge of the lower part of the housing and a row of teeth adapted to be moved back and forth in relation to the blade. A retaining arm, with a razor-blade head secured interchangeably thereto, is mounted pivotably at the edge of the housing remote from the blade and the razor-blade head is adapted to pivot outwardly from a nonoperative position within the housing, through an aperture in the lower part thereof, into an operative position. When the razor-blade head is in use, the housing of the hair-cutting appliance serves as a handle. The hair-cutting appliance therefore performs a dual function, since it may be used not only for cutting hair, but also for shaving.
