Abstract

A razor handle has arms (13) for supporting a shaving unit (11) for pivotal movement about a first axis parallel to the edge of the blade (or each blade) of the shaving unit. The arms are supported on the ends of a U shaped spring (16) which permits the arms to be moved forwardly together to release the shaving unit and rearwardly together to grip a fresh shaving unit and also forwardly or rearwardly independently of one another to permit the unit to tilt about a second axis transverse to the plane of the arms (13). The spring (16) also provides a biasing force to oppose pivotal movement of the unit about the first axis.
