The. object ot' the invention is to provide an exceedingly simple and eo-inpaet. construction, the various parts being so arranged that a majority of the razor parts may be easily assembled or separated z, t, Will. In the drawings, li`igure l is a perspe=ctire view of `the complete device assembled ready for use. 2 is a relatively enlarged plan rien' of the parts shown in Fig. Fig. 3 is a sect-ion on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a plan View of a detail of the traine plate. Fig. 5 a plan View et another detail of the guard plate. Fig. G

is a cross section on the line GWG. Fie". Q.
