Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to handles for razors, and more particularly to razor handles having an elongated body portion with improved mechanical properties. Background technique [0002] Consumers use razors and electric razors in wet environments for grooming purposes. A conventional razor handle has a handle for hand gripping and a head portion with the razor head mounted at the front end of the head portion via a suitable bearing arrangement. Various types of razor handles have gripping areas provided on the top surface of the handle that have been proposed in the past to improve hand grip.
