A hand-held shaving device includes a blade carrier top and a blade carrier base that cooperate to secure a double-edge razor blade in place. The blade carrier top and the blade carrier base mount onto a shaver base that is designed to be held in a hand of a user. When assembled, the device provides rests that contact a body surface to be shaved and when in contact with the body surface set the razor blade at an optimal shaving angle. A process of shaving comprises contacting the body surface to be shaved and moving the device in a direction of the razor blade edge. The device is designed so that it can be used in either hand.
