Disclosed is a blade unit for a safety razor, comprising a blade housing comprising a plurality of blades having respective cutting edges lying in a shaving plane and being arranged to exert a cutting action when moved across a user's skin; and a guard in front of the cutting edges and a cap to the rear of the cutting edges, the guard including an elongate lubricating strip, and the cap including a convex lubricating pad having a convex skin-contacting surface and a rear edge curved in a single arc shape along its entirety. A skin-contacting surface of the convex lubricating pad is greater than a skin-contacting surface of the elongate lubricating strip, the convex lubricating pad and the elongate lubricating strip together extend along at least 60% of an outer perimeter of the blade unit, and the convex lubricating pad extends along at least 30% of the outer perimeter of the blade unit.

A razor or personal shaving device having a handle and two legs. Each leg has at its base at least one blade or blade cartridge containing at least one blade. The blades in the legs are positioned parallel to each other with the sharp edges pointing inward toward one another so that when the blades in one leg are cutting hair, the blades in the other leg are moving along the skin without cutting hair. The device allows shaving in a back and forth motion.

A miniature disposable nasal razor comprised of a handle, blades, and safety guard, used to remove hair from small confined spaces otherwise unreachable with conventional razors. An efficient inverted U-shape is applied to all blades and safety guard, otherwise maintaining the spatial relationships between blades, and blades and guard, found in conventional straight edge disposable shavers. The longitudinal axis of the shaving head is offset from the longitudinal axis of the handle providing ergonomic benefit to the user.
