safety razor

A shaving implement developed by King C Gillette in the early 20th century. Safety razors have a cap, a safety bar, and a handle. These razors use disposable double-edge stainless steel blades.

Safety razors replaced straight razors as the dominant means for a man to shave his face for most of the 20th century until Gillette Co. developed disposable cartridge razors to replace safety razors.
