The object of my invention is to so construct a safety-razor that it will admit of receiving and firmly holding in the proper position blades of different lengths, widths, thickness, and shapes, the construction being such that it is simple and cheap, easily made, and has no protruding points or rough surfaces on the face side or front to interfere with its use by catching in the long part of the beard. This object I attain by the mechanism shown in the accompanying drawings, in which—
In the drawings,

The front part of the screws
I claim—
1. In a safety-razor, the combination, with the frame or holder having fixed clips
2. In a safety-razor, the combination of the frame or holder having clips
