SAFETY RAZOR
The safety razor includes a blade housing and a ceramic blade having a base disposed within the blade housing. The ceramic blade generally extends outwardly from the blade housing to expose a cutting edge suitable for shaving. The blade housing itself extends through at least a portion of the base to non-removably lock the ceramic blade therein. Accordingly, attempting to remove the ceramic blade from the blade housing results in destruction of the cutting edge.
1 . A safety razor, comprising:
a blade housing; and
a ceramic blade having a base disposed within the blade housing, the ceramic blade extending outwardly from the blade housing to expose a cutting edge suitable for shaving;
wherein the blade housing extends through at least a portion of the base to non-removably lock the ceramic blade therein, whereby attempting to remove the ceramic blade from the blade housing results in destruction of the cutting edge.
2 . The safety razor of claim 1 , wherein the blade housing extends through a longitudinal aperture formed through the body of the base.
3 . The safety razor of claim 2 , wherein the longitudinal aperture comprises multiple apertures.
4 . The safety razor of claim 1 , wherein the blade housing extends through a notch formed along one side of the base.
5 . The safety razor of claim 4 , wherein the blade housing extends through a pair of notches formed on opposite sides of the base.
6 . The safety razor of claim 1 , wherein the blade housing restricts horizontal and vertical movement of the ceramic blade.
7 . The safety razor of claim 1 , wherein the blade housing extends through a notch and an aperture formed in the base.
8 . The safety razor of claim 1 , wherein the blade housing encompasses at least a portion of the base.
9 . The safety razor of claim 1 , wherein the blade housing comprises a material relatively more rigid than the ceramic blade.
10 . The safety razor of claim 1 , including a handle selectively attachable to the blade housing.
11 . The safety razor of claim 10 , wherein the blade housing comprises a carriage extending away from the handle to optimize contact of the cutting edge with a shaving surface.
12 . The safety razor of claim 10 , wherein the handle comprises a pliable plastic material.
13 . The safety razor of claim 1 , wherein the ceramic blade includes multiple cutting edges coupled together by the base.
14 . A safety razor, comprising:
a blade housing; and
a ceramic blade having a base disposed within the blade housing, the ceramic blade extending outwardly from the blade housing to expose a cutting edge suitable for shaving;
wherein the blade housing encompasses at least a portion of the base and extends through a longitudinal aperture formed through the body of the base to restrict horizontal and vertical movement and non-removably lock the ceramic blade therein, whereby attempting to remove the ceramic blade from the blade housing results in destruction of the cutting edge.
15 . The safety razor of claim 14 , wherein the blade housing extends through a pair of notches formed on opposite sides of the base and the longitudinal aperture comprises multiple apertures.
16 . The safety razor of claim 14 , wherein the ceramic blade includes multiple cutting edges coupled together by the base and the blade housing comprises a material relatively more rigid than the ceramic blade.
17 . The safety razor of claim 14 , including a handle comprising a pliable plastic material selectively attachable to the blade housing, wherein the blade housing comprises a carriage extending away from the handle to optimize contact of the cutting edge with a shaving surface.
18 . A safety razor, comprising:
a blade housing; and
a ceramic blade having a base disposed within the blade housing, the ceramic blade extending outwardly from the blade housing to expose a cutting edge suitable for shaving, wherein the blade housing comprises a material relatively more rigid than the ceramic blade;
wherein the blade housing encompasses at least a portion of the base and extends through a notch formed along one side of the base to horizontally and vertically non-removably lock the ceramic blade therein, whereby attempting to remove the ceramic blade from the blade housing results in destruction of the cutting edge.
19 . The safety razor of claim 1 , wherein the blade housing extends through multiple longitudinal apertures formed through the body of the base and a pair of notches formed on opposite sides of the base.
20 . The safety razor of claim 1 , including a handle comprising a pliable plastic material selectively attachable to the blade housing, wherein the blade housing is formed into a carriage extending away from the handle to optimize contact of multiple cutting edges coupled together therein by the base.
