  • Publication number: 20220118636
    Abstract: Coupling for a razor, comprising a first component, a second component rotatable relative thereto about a rotational axis extending therebetween, and a rotation limit, a male part thereof extending along the rotational axis into a female part thereof. The male and female parts are shaped to define one or more rotational stops to the rotation of one of the first and second components about the rotational axis relative to the other. A resilient protrusion of the second component, receivable in a recess of the first component, bends elastically in response to a force applied during shaving that rotates the one component about the rotational axis relative to the other component, and biases them towards a neutral position once the force is stopped. Fabrication of the coupling. Razor and handle comprising the coupling.
