Abstract: A blade grinding mechanism for a razor consists of a razor dock, at least two razor blades located in the razor dock, and two grinding means located respectively below each of the razor blades in the razor dock. The grinding means has a grinding surface corresponding to the blade edge of the razor blade. After the razor has been used for shaving beards, both of the grinding means can be used to clear the residual beard debris, and be moved to the left and right side to grind and sharpen the blade edge of the razor blade.

Abstract: A safety razor comprises a handle, a blade element movable relative to the handle in a direction which substantially corresponds to the direction of a working stroke, and an elastic element located between the handle and the blade element as considered in this direction.

Abstract: A sharpener apparatus for an electric shaver of the type having cooperable cutting elements including a cutting head equipped with one or more motor driven cutting blades. The sharpener is positioned between the shear plate and blade and includes a thin sheet having an abrasive material thereon suitable for sharpening the blade or for engagement with and honing the inner surface of the shear plate. In one embodiment, the thin sheet is of size and shape that it is held by the ends of the shaver housing when sharpening the blade. In another embodiment, means are included on the thin sheet for holding the thin sheet on and for movement with the cutting blade to recondition or hone the head. In either embodiment, operation of the shaver's blade drive motor will drive the cutter blade while it either engages the abrasive surface as in the first embodiment or in the second embodiment moves the abrasive surface over the head.

Abstract: The disclosed invention is an accessory for an electric shaver of the type having a removable cutting head equipped with one or more motor driven cutting blades. The accessory has a rigid body provided with a cutting blade receiving pocket or recess. The top face of the pocket is closed and has exposed to the cutting blade an abrasive material suitable for sharpening the blade. The body is of a size and shape that it may be interchanged with all or a portion of the cutting head on the razor and permits engagement between the razor's drive mechanism and a cutter blade while the same is engaged with the abrasive material so that operation of the razor's blade drive will drive the cutter blade while it engages the abrasive surface.
