Abstract
A razor blade assembly, in the form of a razor or shaving unit, comprises a top cap 114, a razor blade 113 fixed relative to the top cap, and a guardbar 115 which is pivotally movable relative to the blade from a shaving position, in which the blade is exposed for shaving, to a protecting position in which the guardbar prevents contact between the cutting edge of blade 113 and a user of the razor. The guardbar can be formed integrally with a platform 112 on which a second blade 123 is secured, or the second blade 123 could be secured to the top cap. In either case the guardbar and platform will pivot between the shaving position and the protecting position, and in latter position both blades will be protected.
