Razor comb hair tool
A razor comb hair tool and a kit containing the same are disclosed. Embodiments include an elongated guard member having an exterior with first and second opposing edges and a hollowed interior defining a cavity, wherein the first edge includes a plurality of spaced apart comb teeth and the second edge includes an opening allowing access to the cavity. A razor blade may optionally be positioned within the cavity. Embodiments also include a handle member adapted along a first edge to make a slidable connection with the second edge of the guard member. When the slidable connection is made, access to the opening and/or razor blade is obstructed.
1. A hair tool adapted to receive a razor blade, comprising:
an elongated guard member having an exterior with first and second opposing edges and a hollowed interior defining a cavity, the first edge includes a plurality of spaced apart comb teeth and the second edge includes an opening allowing access to the cavity for receiving the razor blade; and
a handle member having a first edge defining a socket that is open along the first edge and a first end, and is closed on a second end; and
wherein;
the second edge of the guard member includes a raised portion defining a tenon shaped structure to be slidably received by the socket and the raised portion defining the opening to the cavity;
the opening includes an indentation exposing a portion of sides along an edge of the razor blade opposite a cutting edge for retrieving the razor blade from the cavity;
a protrusion is provided on the raised portion to restrict sliding movement between the handle member and the guard member at a fully assembled relative position, thereby resisting accidental disassembly; and
the connection of the handle member and guard member obstructs access to the opening.
2. The hair tool of claim 1 , wherein the handle member endwise slidably makes the connection with the second edge of the guard member.
3. The hair tool of claim 1 , further comprising a razor blade positioned inside the cavity, and wherein the cavity is defined by the guard member so that the razor blade is releasably inserted sharpened edge first into the cavity.
4. The hair tool of claim 3 , wherein:
the cavity extends and opens into a length of a base of the spaced apart comb teeth and the spaces defined between the spaced apart comb teeth; and
a cutting edge of the razor blade is aligned with and extends between the spaced apart comb teeth.
5. The hair tool of claim 3 , wherein the connection between the handle member and the guard member fully encases the razor blade.
6. The hair tool of claim 1 , wherein the handle member includes a plurality of finger receiving openings defined therethough.
7. The hair tool of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of finger receiving openings are laterally centered on the guard member.
8. The hair tool of claim 1 , wherein a metal insert is coupled to the handle member along a second edge.
9. The hair tool of claim 1 , wherein the handle member also includes a curved protrusion for separating hair.
10. The hair tool of claim 1 , wherein after the connection is made, opposite end sections of the guard member are flush with respective opposite ends the handle member, the opposite ends located adjacent the ends of the receiving edge of the handle member after the connection is made.
