The COMPANION features rails on both sides of the top plate enabling the user to find an ideal angle for shaving . If the angle of the razor handle to the skin is smaller than 30° or larger than 50° the rails on the razor head work to create more distance between the blade and the skin, thus reducing the risk of nicks or scratches while shaving. Blade exposure is also kept at a minimum level to allow for a smooth yet gentle shave.Furthermore, the head features protective flaps over the blunt sides of the blade to avoid unintentionally scratching or nicking of the skin when shaving the body.
