A razor blade assembly has a body member containing blade means which may be resiliently mounted and biased outwardly from the body member. A wrap-around clip is provided at both sides of the body member, the clip having its ends terminating at the bottom surface of the body member. Means are provided for inhibiting movement of the clip ends relative to the bottom surface upon impact loading of the razor blade assembly.

Razor construction

Razor handle

A wet razor with improved ergonomic properties having an elongate handle shaft with a 'Y' shaped yoke at the cartridge end, a bulbous proximal end and a finger orienting channel running down the spine of the handle ending at the bulbous end. The proximal end is bulbous in the direction traverse to the channel of the razor handle. The yoke bends down and laterally outward and the bulbous end bends down below the bottom surface of the handle, thus forming lateral and underside concave thumb and finger grips at foreward and rearward locations. The base of the yoke preferably has a finger rest to enhance steering the razor. The bottom of the razor has a series of pads depending from the upper surface for better gripping. The handle is suited for economical construction as a unitary plastics molding for female body shaving.
