A housing assembly carried by the body structure adjacent the blade structure includes surface structure disposed for skin-engagement adjacent of the cutting edge, structure that defines an elongated apertured chamber extending generally parallel to the cutting edge of the blade structure, and a member of shaving aid material disposed in the housing chamber. The housing assembly also includes guide portions disposed in cooperating relation with guide structure of the body structure for dynamic guided movement of the housing assembly against the biasing structure during shaving.
