Abstract: A handle for a personal grooming article with a substantially rigid elongated gripping section having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. A plurality of substantially rigid ribs project from a top surface of the elongated gripping section and extend substantially traverse to the longitudinal axis. A flexible cover is joined to the elongated gripping section. The cover has a plurality of fins and a frame interconnecting a plurality of end portions of the plurality of fins. The plurality of fins define a plurality of slots extending through the cover. The fins are positioned between respective ribs of the elongated gripping portion. The fins are releasably joined to the elongated gripping section.

Abstract: A material trimmer including a base having a support surface and a cutting region having a channel. A plate is movably attached to the base and includes oppositely facing upper and lower surfaces, an elongated slot therethrough, an elevated portion proximate each side of the slot, and a distal second end with the elevated portion leading to an arcuate surface. A carrier includes a top flange having a pair of oppositely extending sides and a foot extending from the top flange. The foot is slidably received within the slot, and a portion of the pair of oppositely extending sides are arcuate in shape and slidably received within the arcuate surface of the elevated portion. A blade is attached to the carrier, a portion of which extends below the lower surface of the plate within the channel when the plate is disposed over the cutting region.
