Abstract

A razor head, especially a razor blade unit of a wet razor, with the razor head being disposed at the front end of a handle. A single or double razor blade is yeildingly mounted in a plastic housing. To improve the spring or yielding mounting of the single or double razor blades, the latter are secured to a blade member that is mounted on a four-pivot articulation arrangement. This arrangement is provided with two swivel levers, each of which is pivotable between the plastic housing and the blade member on pivot points that have axes that extend parallel to the cutting edges of the razor blades. The swivel levers are pivotable against a spring force.
