Abstract
Abstract A package for a plurality of safety razors each having an elongated handle and a transversely extending shaving head on the upper end thereof. The package is formed from a card which is cut, shaped and secured to form an open-ended envelope having opposed side walls and opposed end walls. Two groups of razors, which are reversed end for end, are mainly housed within the envelope. Each end wall has an aperture through which the lower ends of the handles of one group project. Each side wall has an aperture through which portions of the razor heads project. In a preferred embodiment, the projecting head portions are protected by flaps which are formed integral and co-planar with their respective end walls.
