Abstract: A razor for trimming and shaping of beards, mustaches, sideburns and the like is disclosed. The razor comprises an elongated handle, a tapered offset neck on one end of the handle and a razor head pivotally attached to the neck by a ball and socket joint interposed therebetween. A pivot lock locks the razor head in a desired attitude with respect to the handle and is controllable from the neck of the razor. The razor head carries a blade having opposed arcuate cutting edges, marginal edges of which extend from opposed arcuate surfaces of the razor head. The ball of the ball and socket is a center-cut ball presenting a path therethrough. The pivot lock is slidable into the center path of the ball to expand the ball, thus, locking the razor head in a fixed attitude to the handle of the razor.
