a one - piece razor handle molded from resilient plastic has spaced - apart opposing side walls joined at an intermediate location by a neck . the walls diverge upwardly from the neck into upper portions for gripping a blade cartridge , and extend downwardly to a spacer that extends between the lower portions of the wall . the lower portions of the walls , between the neck and spacer , are resiliently squeezable . the neck acts as a fulcrum so that the upper portions pivot outwardly as the lower portions are squeezed inwardly . a base joins the bottoms of the walls extending past the spacer .
