The head 5 in the present instance is or the A still further object of the invention is to same type as is usually employed with razors provide a razor handle of the character and tor of this character, except that it is provided with the purposes mentioned which'may be manuiacan axially disposed outwardly extending memtured and marketed at lowcost, which does not her or pr j ti v r which is a d and 20 include any special or complex mechanism, secured one end of the flexible handle 8.

By reason of the tapered projection I tioular requirement. The invention in the presthe degree or flexibility may be. varied. By -ent instance is shown as associated with one pargrasping the handle close. to the projection, it
' by the underlying tapered projection I will be greater than when the handle is grasped more remote from the projection. By grasping the handle immediately over or adjacent to the pro- 5 'jecting portion 1, little or no flexibility is afforded.
' Ihe razor thus constructed automatically lends itself to'the degree of flexibility desired, this degree being determined by the point of grasp of the handle.
10 The handle is applied to the razor by delivering thereto a rotary motion to cause the threads of the stem 5 to engage within the socket'of head 8. The coils of the handle, therefore, will preferably be made left handed, so that clockwise 15 rotation to tighten the handle will cause the coils to bind and securely grip upon the projections i and i0 and thus obviate slippage.
A handle constructed in the form of a coil as described possesses a flexibility very desirable in 20 the shaving operation. This flexibility is not limited to angular directions but permits of the head rotating to limited degrees with respect to the handle. This action permits the blade to rest properly upon the-surface and keeps the blade tension at both ends uniform, notwithstanding undulations in the said surface.
From the foregoing, it is apparent that I have provided a safety razor handle of extremely simple and inexpensive construction, and which possesses such characteristics as will permit of that degree of flexibility desired by the user. It is U obvious, however, that this function may be obtained by variation in the details without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What I claim is:
In a razor, a head, a projection integral with said head, said projection being circular in cross
