Refill

A safety razor has a handle and a razor cartridge. The head portion of the handle has a biasing member and connecting structure to pivotally connect to mating connection structure of the cartridge. The cartridge can pivot about a pivot axis. A cam surface of the biasing member interacts with a cam surface of the housing of the cartridge to permit resilient movement of the cartridge away from an at-rest position in response to forces encountered during shaving. The connecting structure of the handle has first and second shell bearings which each have a fin at the inner end. The fin extends towards the pivot axis and a least a portion of the tip of the fin is closer to the pivot axis than any portion of the cam surface of the biasing member. The fin resists rotation of the cartridge about an axis perpendicular to the pivot axis.

Tub and lid

According to the present invention, a tray for a shaving implement having a powered device includes a base, at least one engagement structure, and at least one protrusion. The base has a length and a width that are at least approximately as long as a length and a width of the shaving implement, respectively. The base also has a height. The engagement structure(s) are operable to releaseably secure the shaving implement to the tray. The protrusion(s) extend heightwise from the base and are positioned substantially adjacent to a switch on the shaving implement that controls the powered device. The protrusion(s) extend to a height that is at least as high as the switch when the shaving implement is releasably secured in the engagement structure(s) and guard the switch from contact with outside forces that can unintentionally power on the battery-powered device.
