Abstract

A wet shaving razor has a handle with a substantially rigid elongated gripping section extending along a longitudinal axis of the handle. An elastomer cover is joined to the elongated gripping section and includes a plurality of flexible fins having a first section having a first width and a second section having a second width that is less than the first width. The fins have a height to gap width ratio of about 1:1 to about 2:1, such that the fins have a flexed position in which one or more of the fins deflects and contacts an adjacent fin.
