a top member arranged on a top side of the razor head,

wherein

the blade member is fitted between the blade base member and the top member,

the base is supported on the blade base member,

a cutting edge of the blade body is exposed in the top member,

the base has a pair of supporting edge portions arranged between the blade base member and the top member,

between both of the supporting edge portions, a bottom opening is disposed on the bottom side of the razor head and a top opening is disposed on the top side of the razor head,

a first debris discharge hole is a space disposed between the bottom opening and the top opening, and

the first debris discharge hole is opened on the bottom side of the razor head through the bottom opening and also opened on the top side of the razor head through the top opening,

the blade base member is made up of a front frame portion, a back frame portion, a left frame portion and a right frame portion, the blade base member being provided with a second debris discharge hole enclosed by the front, back, left and right frame portions of the blade base member,

each of the supporting edge portions is provided with a pair of leg portions supported by a side of the blade base member, each of ends of the leg portions is spaced apart from each other and each of the ends of the leg portions contacts the blade base member.

2. The razor according to claim 1 , wherein the first debris discharge hole communicates with the second debris discharge hole through the bottom opening, wherein the top member is provided with a blade body exposure hole communicating with the first debris discharge hole through the top opening.

3. The razor according to claim 2 , wherein each of the supporting edge portion is a pair of placing bodies that form a placing base, the base is provided with the pair of placing bodies and a blade body supporting portion constructed between the pair of placing bodies, wherein the placing base is placed on the blade base member each of the placing bodies is arranged between the blade base member and the top member, the blade body is attached to the blade body supporting portion, the second debris discharge hole is disposed below the placing base, and the top opening is disposed on a periphery of the blade body at the blade body supporting portion.

4. The razor according to claim 3 , wherein the blade body supporting portion is provided with a plurality of blade body attaching portions arranged in a staircase pattern along a front-back direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the blade body, and the blade body being attached to the blade body attaching portions by welding.

5. The razor according to claim 3 , wherein
