Abstract: A straight blade razor allows consumers lacking professional dexterity put the blade against the skin at an ideal angle. A handle portion, a razor portion extending from the second segment of the handle portion including a detachable trapezoidal blade compartment for holding the blade which compartment includes a top, an end wall, left and right non-parallel side walls having a bottom end, and a smooth bottom wall having a gap between its first and second bottom wall segments through which the blade protrudes to a point slightly beyond the bottom wall but not as far as either bottom end of the side walls. The first and second bottom wall segments curve toward the top near the gap between them to encourage cut hair into the compartment. A planar retaining wall inside the blade compartment holds the blade at a fixed tilted angle relative to the skin.
