The protector also includes a first trimming blade has a first cutting edge and a second trimming blade opposite the first trimming blade has a second cutting edge. The first comb and the second comb have several teeth projecting along an axis that is oblique to the longitudinal axis defining a trimming length. The trimming length is adjustable. The teeth of the first comb protrude forwardly with respect to the first cutting edge and the teeth of the second comb protrude forwardly with respect to the second cutting edge.

A guard is provided to fit over a blade-retaining portion of a razor configured for wet shaving. The guard may comprise a frame defined by top and bottom rails, vertically spaced by first and second side edges and a plurality of elongated members defining a grate. Means for compressibly securing the guard over the blade-retaining portion of a razor chosen from a disposable and cartridge-type razor are disposed along the length of at least one of the top and bottom rails. When disposed over the blade retaining portion, the grate portion of the guard spaces any blades retained in the razor from the surface of a user's skin while still leaving such blades at least partially exposed to the user's facial or body hair. This enables a user to trim, rather than fully shave, his hair and further protects the user's skin from the harmful effects of close shaving.
