Abstract
This invention relates to manual cutting implements for grooming and styling hair. A cutting implement having a unitary blade and shank attached to an elongated handle is provided which is particularly adapted to the trimming and shaping of beards, moustaches, sideburns and the like. The shank extends angularly away from the axis of the handle to a union with the blade wherefrom the blade appends angularly towards the handle and terminates at an oblique cutting edge, extending across the width of the blade. The ends of the blade project beyond the sides of the shank thereby exposing the ends of the cutting edge to the view of the user. Apparatus are provided for steadying the user's hand and controlling the pressure of the cutting edge against the surface in contact with the blade.
