Razor Assembly

A safety razor, comprising:

• a handle adapted to pivotally support a razor cartridge;
• a biasing member;
• a reservoir adapted to contain a portion of a non-solid shaving aid material, at least partially disposed in the handle, the reservoir including a vent extending through a wall of the reservoir;
• a razor cartridge pivotally mounted to the handle and adapted to pivot away from an at-rest position relative to the handle in response to forces encountered during normal use of the safety razor against forces provided by the biasing member to bias the cartridge towards the at-rest position;
• wherein the razor cartridge is further pivotally coupled to the reservoir;
• and
• a linkage extending between the razor cartridge and the reservoir, the linkage having a plug arranged to block the vent when the razor cartridge is in the at-rest position;
• wherein when the razor cartridge pivots away from the at-rest position in response to forces encountered during normal use of the safety razor, pivotal movement of the razor cartridge relative to the reservoir causes further movement of the linkage relative to both the razor cartridge and the reservoir and causes the plug to be at least partially removed from the vent.
