Patent ID: 7730619

Claim:
A safety razor, comprising: a razor head having a planar intermediate portion extending in a longitudinal direction along a generally horizontal plane and two generally arcuate end portions, each extending outwardly and downwardly from a respective end of the planar intermediate portion so that the planar intermediate portion and the arcuate end portions form a substantially inverted “U” shape with the planar intermediate portion between the arcuate end portions and adapted to position blade alignment guides at predetermined intervals to locate a plurality of blades in a desirable configuration; blade alignment guides formed in the razor head and spaced apart from each other in a direction following the shape of the substantially inverted “U” for receiving and positioning of a plurality of substantially parallel blades for supporting same relative to an arcuate disposition thereof; and a plurality of substantially parallel blades positioned within said blade alignment guides and following the shape of the substantially inverted “U”, each blade having a cutting edge and an intermediate, generally linear, planar portion and two, oppositely disposed, generally arcuate end portions, the cutting edge protruding outwardly from the blade alignment guides and following the shape of the substantially inverted “U” said cutting edge on the arcuate portions of the blade having a positive curvature extending from said generally linear portion.
