A shaving head that doubles as breaking mechanism to break a safety razor blade into two pieces to form a 2-blade shaving razor. The shaving head includes a front component having a retention guide, a first position stop and a second position stop at a distance offset from the first position stop. The shaving head further includes a back component having a blade slot configured to receive a first blade portion and a second blade portion formed from breaking a double-edge safety razor blade such that the first blade portion has a different width compared to the second blade portion. The retention guide is configured to retain the first blade portion and the second blade portion in the blade slot responsive to the retention guide being at least partially inserted into the blade slot. The sharp shaving edges once installed form a shaving angle between 5 and 30 degrees, where the shaving angle is determined by where the blade is broken.

A safety razor including a handle; a base plate having an upper surface; and a top cap having a lower surface. The top cap configured to be secured to the base plate to hold a removeable double-edged razor blade between the upper surface and the lower surface, with the handle extending from the joined base plate and top cap for use in manipulating the joined base plate and top cap.
