Abstract: A razor has a handle with an articulable joint intermediate the cutting blade and the portion of the handle grasped by a user. The joint connects first and first portions of the handle. A spring is mounted around the tail of a plunger between the portions. The spring projects into a spring channel in the second portion and urges the portions to an initial non-use position.

Abstract: A razor has a handle with an articulable joint intermediate the cutting blade and the portion of the handle grasped by a user. The joint includes a spring mounted around a pivot pin which in combination with a resilient sleeve disposed over the joint urges the joint to an initial position in resistance to a force applied by the user during shaving.

Abstract: A razor has a handle with an articulable joint intermediate the cutting blade and the portion of the handle grasped by a user. The joint is made of resilient elastomeric memory material so that the head of the razor may be moved from an initial position to a displaced position and back to the initial position. The joint has at least one undercut to reduce its thickness and facilitate the moving of the head.

Abstract: A razor has a handle with an articulable joint intermediate the cutting blade and the portion of the handle grasped by a user. The joint may be made of elastomeric material, may be a relief that locally thins the handle, or may be a resiliently urged mechanical pivot joint.
