Patent attributes
A razor for shaving and sculpting an area of hair growth has a spaced plurality of blades mounted on a tapered frame that is supported by a handle. The plurality of blades have progressively shorter cutting edges. The cutting edges have ends lying along a converging pair of sides of a triangular region, whose third side is collinear with the longest one of the cutting edges. The shortest one of the cutting edges is closest to a distal vertex formed by the converging pair of sides. The spacing between the longest and the shortest one of the cutting edges exceeds the distance from the shortest one to the distal vertex. The razor is moved across the area of hair growth with the shortest one of the cutting edges in a leading position, while keeping the cutting edges substantially within a triangular facial section having a remote vertex, in order to remove hair from inside the triangular section. The shaver is stopped when the shortest one of the cutting edges (a) arrives close to the remote vertex without bringing the cutting edges substantially outside the triangular facial section, and (b) is spaced from the remote vertex by a distance that is less than the spacing between the longest one and the shortest one of the cutting edges.
