Abstract

A razor head, especially a razor blade unit of a wet razor, disposed at the front end of a handle. A single or double razor blade is yieldingly 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 displaceably mounted in the plastic housing and can be displaced in a direction toward the rear wall of the plastic housing against a spring force.
