Anatomy of a Safety Razor

Here is a picture of a safety razor. It is similar to a disposable razor, which makes sense because it was its predecessor, but it isn't the same as the guard, handle, and design are a bit different. For instance, most disposable razors today have a higher guard and a non-adjustable angle where you can just about hack at your face and still be fine.

Cap: The cap is a metal frontal guard which goes on the front of the safety razor. It is designed to help keep the blade inside.

 Blade: The blades are typically double edged(DE) and can be used twice before being disposed. There are some single edged blades but they are rare, its simply more cost effective to use DE blades. These should slide right into your preferred safety razor through a locking mechanism which is typically unique per the razor brand.

Guard: The guard is what prevents you from cutting at too steep of an angle, and was a revolutionary design step by Gillette way back in the early 20th century.

Handle: The handle is where you hold the safety razor.
