  • Publication number: 20190299472
    Abstract: A shaving razor handle includes a main body, a pair of arms extending from the main body, and a pivoting head that extends between an upper end and a lower end. The pivoting head includes a base member and a biasing member. The base member is pivotally coupled with the pair of arms to facilitate pivoting of the pivoting head about a pivot axis between a home position and a fully pivoted position. The base member includes a front wall and a rear wall. The front wall includes a first vertical height. The rear wall includes a second vertical height. The biasing member is operably coupled with the main body and is configured to bias the pivoting head into the home position. The first vertical height is less than the second vertical height.

  • Publication number: 20190299454
    Abstract: The invention is directed toward a shaving razor system. The razor system has a handle and a razor cartridge. The handle has at least one skin interconnect member in pivotal relation to a proximal end portion of the handle. The razor cartridge has a housing, at least one blade, and at least one opening which extends through the housing. The razor cartridge is engaged with the skin interconnect member when the skin interconnect member is disposed within the opening securing the razor cartridge to the proximal end portion of the handle. The razor cartridge is in a pivotal relation with the handle, but not with the skin interconnect member. A pivot point of the razor system is desirably disposed near the front blade of the cartridge. Axes of movement in the razor system can be provided by different physical order of connections of razor components.
