The great advantageoi the invention consists, first, of the flexibility of the handle, the said flexibility making shaving easier, thereby taking care of the skin of the face in a manner hitherto unknown, and secondly, oi the detormabillty o1 the handle in all directions, the said deformability allowing a smooth and elastic shaving to persons who sun'eri'rom cramp in general and writcr's cramp in particular, nervous disorders,'and
the like, and who exert strong pressure upon the t handle.
My improved handle 8 may be connected to the blade holding member I by means of the usual internal thread tap or by any other suitable means, and the extremity of the handle may be provided with ornamental knobs I made of solid tion in all directions uniformly, and the outer face of the handle being longitudinally grooved and ribbed to facilitate gripping thereof and to permit longitudinal sliding movements of the user's hand.
