Abstract

A safety razor system includes an elongated housing pivotably attached to a member connecting the housing to a handle. The housing is substantially rectangular, having arcuate end portions. A plurality of razor blades and a guard member extend from the upper surface of the housing and an annular retainer clip is disposed about the periphery of the housing serving to retain the blades onto the housing and position the blades relative to the guard member. The connecting member pivotably supports the housing by four coaxial bearing surfaces contacting mating surfaces on the housing during rotation of the housing relative to the connecting member.
