A shaving article for sensitive surfaces and curved body areas includes an elongate handle having one free end and an opposite end from which a shank or neck portion integrally depends, the shank and handle defining an aggregate effective lever arm. The article includes a shaving head assembly transversely dependent from the neck portion, the assembly having a blade housing including means for holding and positioning of a blade having a length in a range of about 17 to about 23 millimeters, the blade defining a rotated arm of the lever arm in which a ratio of length of the lever arm to the rotated arm defines a range of between about 3.5:1 to about 5.5:1. The preferred length of the blade, within said range, is about 20 millimeters (0.75 inches). The mass or weight of the handle typically exceeds the aggregate mass or weight of the shank and shaving head assembly thereby moving the center of gravity of the article closer to the center of the fingers of the user so that the article may be more easily controlled.
