(54) Razor assembly


(57) A razor assembly is provided that includes a razor cartridge (12) with one or more razor blades, a shaving aid body (14), a handle (16), and a linkage (18) pivotally connected to the handle. The linkage (18) is connected to the razor cartridge (12) and the shaving aid body (14) in a manner such that the razor cartridge and the shaving aid body are moveable relative to the handle. Movement of one of the razor cartridge or the shaving aid body in a first direction causes the other of the razor cartridge or the shaving aid body to move in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction. As a result, the positions of the shaving aid body and the razor cartridge are continuously adjusted to maintain the contact surface (15) of the shaving aid body approximately co-planar with the cutting edges of the razor blades within the razor cartridge.
