1. A coupling for a razor, comprising a first component and a second component rotatable relative thereto about a rotational axis extending therebetween, the second component comprising a resilient protrusion, the first component comprising a recess in which the protrusion is receivable, the recess being configured to elastically bend the protrusion received therein in response to a force applied during shaving, thereby rotating one of the first component and the second component about the rotational axis relative to the other, the coupling further comprising a rotation limit that comprises a male part extending along the rotational axis into a female part, the male and female parts being shaped to define one or more rotational stops to the rotation of the one of the first component and the second component about the rotational axis relative to the other, and the protrusion being configured to bias the first or second components towards a neutral position once the force applied is stopped, wherein the protrusion is monolithically formed with the second component.
