Abstract

The invention provides a razor assembly comprising a shaving unit and a handle. The shaving unit has a platform, a blade, pivotal mounting for pivotally connecting the shaving unit to the handle, and apparatus for receiving a biasing force from the handle. The handle includes two flexible arms which at one end have pivotal mounting apparatus complementary to the shaving unit's pivotal mounting apparatus, the flexible arms being secured to the handle in a region spaced from the handle's pivotal mounting apparatus. A movable button engages the flexible arms and is movable for flexing the arms to disengage the handle's pivotal mounting apparatus from the shaving unit's pivotal mounting apparatus and for reverse movement which frees the flexible arms for engagement of the handle's pivotal mounting apparatus with the shaving unit's pivotal mounting apparatus. The handle also includes apparatus for exerting a biasing force on the shaving unit's apparatus for receiving a biasing force.
