Abstract: A razor has a holder, a holder handle defining a razor axis, a cross-piece installed in the holder along the razor axis, and up to four pairs of blades. The holder and holder handle collectively form a T-shape structure. Each of the blades in each of the pairs is installed in the holder on a respective side of the cross-piece and at sharp blade setting angle and symmetrical about the cross-piece. The blade setting angle is 75-80°, and the blade setting angle of each preceding blade pair in the direction of the razor movement is less than the setting angle of a subsequent blade pair. The invention makes it possible to increase the efficiency and ease of shaving and to reduce the production cost of the razor.

Abstract: The invention relates to hand-held portable cutting tools, in particular to safety razors. The razor comprises a holder with a handle and at least one pair of blades. The blades are arranged in the holder at an acute angle symmetrically to the razor longitudinal axis. A transverse jumper is made in the center of the holder. Said jumper fixes the position of blades. The setting angle of the blades ranges from 75 to 80°. In preferred variant, the razor comprises two or more pares of blades having different setting angles. Preferably, not more than four. It is reasonable to design the razor in such a way that the setting angle of each preceding pair of blades in the direction of the razor motion is greater than the setting angle of the next pair of blades. The invention makes it possible to increase the efficiency and ease of shaving and to reduce the production cost of the razor.

Abstract: Multi blade razors having at least three blades for cutting the beard and/or unnecessary hairs. The razor is equipped with inclined and/or sloping blades. The inclination is a single inclination on one axis and possibly multiple inclinations in various axes. This allows implementation of a blade cut with consequent improvement of smoothness on the skin. The inclined blades are orientated on two axes to dissect the hair bringing the hair to the sharpened side without forcing the hair to be cut violently. The lifetime of the blade is improved, with a cutting capacity which is clearly superior to a razor extending perpendicular to a handle. The use of less than three inclined blades could be dangerous for the skin and might produce uncomfortable shaving, if utilized by non-professional barbers or untrained end-users.

Abstract: The various embodiments of the invention are directed to safety razor heads (120) having intrinsically fenced cutting blades (136, 138) oriented at a high slicing angle to the shaving direction. The razor comprises a plurality of short cutting edges (4) in a spaced relationship across the width of the cutting zone, bounded by leading (112) and trailing guards (104), and oriented at an angle greater than 30 degrees, resulting in enhanced cutting action, improved lubricant and debris flow, and longer life of the cutting edges. Lateral skin tensioning is achieved in one embodiment by the spreading action of left and right oriented cutting edges.

Abstract: A blade cartridge including three or more blades fixed between a platform member and a cap member. The present invention provides improved triple blade geometry where five contact surfaces with the skin are considered, including the edges of each of the blades, a skin contacting surface on the guard member and a skin contacting surface on the cap member. The five contacting surfaces are oriented at an equal distance from a common axis in order to ensure that the shaving forces normal to the contacting surfaces are shared by all of the contacting surfaces. The arrangement of the present invention provides optimal blade geometry, thereby producing a close and comfortable shave. Additionally, the blades of the present invention are movable to a less aggressive position in response to applied shaving forces.

Abstract: My improved hand-held razor ensures smoother hair removal on any human body part and even on furry domestic animals. The angled or precut blade or blades in the razor head result in angled orientations instead of straight across the longitudinal length of the razor head. The angle of the blade(s) provides a slicing motion which is less likely to tear hair roots and make infection of pores more probable.
