Abstract
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.
