ABSTRACT:
A shaving assembly is disclosed for use in surgical shaving or the like, the assembly being adapted to effect removal of hair close to the skin without damaging the epidermis. The assembly comprises a blade seat, and a blade cap secured to the seat, with the outwardly facing surface of the cap being substantially planar and defining a locating and reference plane for contacting the surface of skin to be shaved, whereby to locate and orient the assembly with respect to the skin. Handle means extend from the assembly for grasping and drawing same across the skin in a given direction during shaving. Razor blade means are secured between the seat and cap. The cutting edge portion of the blade means protrude in the given direction beyond the edge of the cap, and the center plane of such portion makes an angle of from about -5.degree. to 14.degree. with respect to the locating and reference plane, where the negative and positive signs of the angle respectively indicate convergence or divergence (in said given direction) between the cutting edge portion plane and the locating and reference plane. The terminal cutting edge of such portion is, further, spaced from the locating and reference plane in the direction of the seat. In consequence of the foregoing arrangement, hairs are cut in scythe-like fashion during the shaving process, by the cutting edge intersecting the hairs above the skin, and substantially without the cutting edge contacting the skin.
