The edge was then protected by a <a href="/wiki/Comb" title="Comb">comb</a> patterned on the head to protect the skin. In the more modern-day produced safety razors, the comb is now more commonly replaced by a safety bar. There are two types of safety razors, single-edged and double-edged. The single-edged razor is essentially a 4-centimetre (1.6 in) long segment of a straight razor. The double-edged safety razor is a razor with a slant bar that can be used on both sides, with two open edges. The blade on the double-edged safety razor is slightly curved to allow for a smoother and cleaner shave. </p><p>In 1901, the American inventor <a href="/wiki/King_Camp_Gillette" class="mw-redirect" title="King Camp Gillette">King Camp Gillette</a>, with the assistance of William Nickerson, submitted a patent for a new variation of safety razor with disposable blades which was patented in 1904.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> One reason was that shaving with a safety razor should be safer and more convenient than shaving with a classic <a href="/wiki/Straight_razor" title="Straight razor">straight razor</a> with a sharp blade.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The thick grip of these safety razors can be reused.
