Abstract A T-shaped shaver of a design which is capable of compact and safe storage. The shaver of the present invention has an elongated base stem having a groove extending along a substantial portion of the base stem length and an elongated extension stem rotatably connected at one end thereof to a corresponding end of the base stem. The extension stem other end has a depression formed in a front side. A razor blade holder having a razor blade mounted therein is rotatably connected to the other end of the extension stem. The razor blade holder has a projection formed thereupon facing the extension stem front side with the projection mating with the depression when the razor blade holder is perpendicular to the extension stem.
