bearings 41 and 45 are aligned with each other so that the razor blade assembly 2 may be pivoted upon the journals 63 and 65 the surfaces 50 and 52 are inclined at predetermined angles relative to the plane of the platform underside 38 so that the cam member 42 normally engages the cam follower member 66 substantially at the apex 48 to cooperatively urge the blade means 10 in the razor blade assembly 2 to be in a plane at a desired angular attitude u03c6 relative to the handle longitudinal axis 81 fig2 as the safety razor is moved along a skin surface skin contours and convolutions act on the razor blade assembly 2 to generate torque producing forces which pivotally move the razor blade assembly 2 about the axis 61 causing the end 74 of the cam follower member 66 to move from the apex 48 to a point 51 for example on the surface 52 as shown in fig3 or to a point 53 on the surface 50 as shown in fig4 the pivotal movement of the razor blade assembly 2 causes the cam follower member 66 to move along a substantially linear path within the handle 60 to further compress the spring 70 and to generate sufficient force f 2 to.
