Abstract

A razor cleaning device particularly suited for multi-bladed disposable razors, comprising a brush and at least two sets of teeth supported by a handle. One of the sets of teeth of said device extend from the handle at an oblique angle. The second set of teeth extend from the opposite side of the handle at equal but opposite oblique angles. Therefore, the teeth on each side to point in equal, but opposite directions. Further, the teeth in each set are tapered in a stepwise fashion to coincide with the offset parallel blades of a razor. This allows each set of teeth to align with and clean several blades of the razor simultaneously. A cloth-like tail is also attached to the device for wiping and cleaning the blades and razor during or after cleaning with the brush and teeth.
