Abstract
A razor blade assembly is provided including a pair of skin-engaging structural elements, the razor blade being connected to a first one of the skin-engaging elements with the cutting edge forwardly directed. The second skin-engaging element is movably connected to the first and being movable relative to both the blade and the first skin-engaging element between first and second positions. In the first position the blade is exposed for shaving. That is the blade edge extends forwardly of a tangent plane to the front margins of the two skin-engaging elements. In the second position the blade is in a guarded position, that is rearward of the tangent plane. Preferably the first skin-engaging element is a guard bar and the second skin-engaging element is a cap member.
