Abstract
Disclosed is a mechanically operated razor which does not require any electric power supply while functioning as a power-driven shaver. The razor mainly includes a housing, a driving mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a top cover, a shaving blade, and a mirror. Repeatedly pushing a push button of the driving mechanism toward the housing causes a rack connected the push button to move inward and to mesh with and rotate a gear of the transmission mechanism. The rotating gear in turn brings other gears of the transmission mechanism and a flywheel to rotate, causing the shaving blade to rotate rapidly for a prolonged time. The rotating flywheel may reduce the times the push button is depressed while prolongs the rotating of the shaving blade, so that the razor functions like an electrically driven razor. A cleaning brush is removably attached to the razor for cleaning the razor after shaving. A cotter coupled with a switch button on the push button can be ascended to engage with the top cover when the push button is fully pushed into the housing and the switch button is pushed upward, and thereby retains the entire push button in the housing, allowing the razor to be conveniently stored or carried.
