Abstract
A shaving implement is provided that includes a replacement cartridge mounted to a handle. The replacement cartridge includes a shaving aid body and a razor cartridge. The shaving aid body can be erodible and the handle is provided with a self-leveling mechanism to relatively maintain a generally coplanar relation between the top surface of the shaving aid body and the shave plane of the razor cartridge during a normal shaving operation as the shaving aid body erodes during use. The shaving implement is provided with limited pivotal motion of the replacement cartridge relative to the handle about three generally mutually perpendicular axes and combinations of the three axes. Biasing force is provided to urge the replacement cartridge to a neutral position relative to the three axes.
