Abstract
The present invention pertains to an apparatus for shaving. The apparatus for shaving comprises at least one blade having an essentially straight and essentially continuous cutting edge. The blade is comprised of a plurality of pliable blade segments aligned adjacent to each other to form the essentially straight and essentially continuous cutting edge such that each blade segment is capable of being deflected in a direction perpendicular to the cutting edge independently with respect to the other blade segments by a surface while in contact with the surface during shaving of the surface. The apparatus is also comprised of a rectangular shaped head which holds the blade in a desired orientation. Additionally, the apparatus is comprised of a handle connected to the head. In a preferred embodiment, there can be two blades held in the head in a tandem relationship. Preferably, the head holds the blade such that the blade segments are freestanding and not prestressed.
