1. The combination with a supporting-frame, and a pivot or bearing extending horizontally therefrom, of an oscillating or rocking bed mounted on said pivot or bearing and over which the razor-strop passes, and an oscillating razor-blade holder located above said oscillating or rocking bed and operated by a part of the latter, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a supporting-frame, and a pivot or bearing extending horizontally therefrom, of an oscillating or rocking bed mounted on said pivot or bearing and constructed with a loop having rack-teeth, said bed serving to support the razor-strop which passes thereover, and an oscillating razor-blade holder mounted in the supporting-frame and provided with a shaft having cogs or teeth with which the rack-teeth of the loop of the oscillating or rocking bed engage, for oscillating the razor-blade holder when the bed is oscillated or rocked, substantially as described.
3. The combination with a supporting-frame, and a pivot or bearing extending horizontally therefrom, of an oscillating bed mounted on the pivot and provided with a lateral pin
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
