To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Franz Voos, of Solingen, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety-Razors, of which the following is a specification.

In the accompanying drawings,
My improved safety-razor consists, essentially, of three parts, viz: the frame or guard, the clamp for holding the blade, and the blade itself. The guard and the clamp are made in separate pieces, which are connected by set-screws in such a manner that the clamp is longitudinally movable along the guard in order to raise and lower the blade and compensate for wear.

The combination in a safety-razor, of a frame having a pair of guide-rails, a pair of rearwardly-extending lugs, and a toothed lower edge, with a clamp having rearwardly-extending hooks that engage the said rails, and with a pair of screws that adjustably connect the frame-lugs with the clamp-hooks, substantially as specified.
2. A safety-razor composed of a
3. The combination of a guard having guide-rails
