safety razor
Shaving with protection
A safety razor is a razor with a guard or protective device between the blade and the skin, reducing the risk of cuts compared to a straight razor.
The blade is typically replaceable and double-edged, held in a handled head that exposes only a small portion of the cutting edge.
He switched to a safety razor after nicking himself one too many times with a straight blade.
