Abstract

A shaving razor has a blade carrier, which may be part of a replaceable blade cartridge, pivotally supported by a main component or handle assembly, the main component and the blade carrier having cooperating convex and concave arcuate bearing surfaces whereby the carrier is movable about the pivot axis by sliding movement of the convex and concave bearing surfaces over one another, and a spring mechanism both holds the convex and concave bearing surfaces in engagement with one another and resiliently biases the carrier in one direction about the pivot axis toward a limit position.
