ABSTRACT:
A wet razor with improved ergonomic properties having an elongate handle shaft with a "Y" shaped yoke at the cartridge end, a bulbous proximal end and a finger orienting channel running down the spine of the handle ending at the bulbous end. The proximal end is bulbous in the direction traverse to the channel of the razor handle. The yoke bends down and laterally outward and the bulbous end bends down below the bottom surface of the handle, thus forming lateral and underside concave thumb and finger grips at foreward and rearward locations. The base of the yoke preferably has a finger rest to enhance steering the razor. The bottom of the razor has a series of pads depending from the upper surface for better gripping. The handle is suited for economical construction as a unitary plastics molding for female body shaving.
