Abstract
A flexible, easy-to-rinse razor (10), formed in accordance with the present invention, is provided. The razor includes a blade cartridge (16) having a pair of opposing ends (17), an elongated handle (12), a flexible neck (22) coupled to the handle, and a pair of mounting arms (18) extending from the neck and securing the ends of the blade cartridge. In the preferred embodiment, the flexible neck can be protracted into and retracted from the handle by turning a rotatable cuff (36) coupled to the handle. In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the razor is provided with a flume (28) attached to the flexible neck that is capable of converting a normal circular-shaped water stream into a substantially rectangular-shaped stream and directing the substantially rectangular-shaped stream through the blade cartridge.
