safety razors
Guarded blade shavers
Safety razors are razors with a protective guard between the blade and skin, reducing the risk of cuts compared to straight razors.
The double-edged blade sits in a hinged head that allows only a small portion of the edge to contact skin: He switched to a safety razor after one too many nicks with his straight blade.
The design dominated shaving from the early twentieth century until cartridge razors largely replaced them.
