Abstract

The invention relates to a manual razor including a shaving head ( 10 ) having a attached on a handle ( 20 ), pivoting means ( 11, 21 ) between the head ( 10 ) and the handle ( 20 ) so that the head ( 10 ) can move from a use position perpendicular to the handle ( 20 ) into a stowage position parallel to the handle. In order for the razor to be easily stored while occupying as little space as possible, the blade can be pivoted without touching the blade, using a rack ( 21 ) provided on a sliding button located on the handle ( 20 ), and a toothed wheel ( 11 ) connected to the head ( 10 ), wherein the toothed wheel ( 11 ) and the rack ( 21 ) are sized and arranged to be in mutual engagement.
