Abstract

A razor comprises a first component comprising a first indicia on a surface of the first component. The razor also comprises a second component configured to rotate relative to the first component about a first axis of rotation, the second component comprising at least one blade and a second indicia on a surface of the second component, the second component configured to rotate relative to the first component about a second axis of rotation, wherein the second axis of rotation and the first axis of rotation are non-coplanar. The second component is in a preloaded neutral position when at rest such that rotation about the second axis of rotation generates a return torque and wherein the first indicia and the second indicia are in alignment at rest and out of alignment when the second component has been rotated about the first axis of rotation.

Claims (5)

1. A razor comprising:

a first component comprising a first indicia and a second indicia; and

a second component configured to rotate relative to the first component about a first axis of rotation, the second component comprising at least one blade, the second component configured to rotate relative to the first component about a second axis of rotation, wherein the second axis of rotation and the first axis of rotation are non-coplanar,

wherein the second component is in a preloaded neutral position when at rest such that rotation about the second axis of rotation generates a return torque and wherein the first indicia is visible and the second indicia is not visible when the second component is at rest as the second component covers the second indicia when the second component is at rest and the second indicia is visible when the second component has been rotated about the second axis of rotation.

2. The razor of claim 1 , wherein the second component forms an aperture that is positioned over the second indicia when the second component has been rotated to show the second indicia disposed underneath.
