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 that is provided with a front guide strip. To provide an improved spring or yielding mounting of the single or double razor blades, these blades are secured to a blade member that is pivotably mounted in the plastic housing so as to be pivotable against a spring force about an axis that extends parallel to the guide strip.
