A shaving razor handle includes a main body, a pair of arms extending from the main body, and a pivoting head that extends between an upper end and a lower end. The pivoting head includes a base member and a biasing member. The base member is pivotally coupled with the pair of arms to facilitate pivoting of the pivoting head about a pivot axis between a home position and a fully pivoted position. The base member includes a front wall and a rear wall. The front wall includes a first vertical height. The rear wall includes a second vertical height. The biasing member is operably coupled with the main body and is configured to bias the pivoting head into the home position. The first vertical height is less than the second vertical height.

A shaving razor cartridge includes a housing and at least one razor blade. The housing includes a blade support portion and a handle interface portion. The blade support portion includes a cap and a guard. The handle interface portion is positioned between the front end and the rear end and includes a front wall, a rear wall, an upper surface, and a locking member. The front wall includes a lower surface and an interior surface. The rear wall includes a lower surface and an interior surface. The upper surface defines an upper opening. The locking member extends from the interior surface of the rear wall towards the front wall. The locking member is configured to facilitate selective retention of a razor handle to the housing. The lower surfaces cooperate to define a lower opening. The handle receptacle extends between the lower opening and the upper opening.

A razor having a handle, a head and a main blade housing assembly. The main blade housing assembly defines a first end, a second end and has at least one main blade mounted thereon. At least one first extension blade is mounted on a first extension blade housing assembly. At least one second extension blade is mounted on a second extension blade housing assembly. In a stored configuration at least substantially all of the first extension blade and second extension blade are both positioned between the main blade housing assembly's first end and second end. In an extended configuration at least substantially all of the first extension blade and the second extension blade extends beyond a first end and second end of the main blade.

A novel razor cartridge includes at least one non-cutting element disposed anywhere within a blade array between a guard and a cap and/or in a blade position of a frame providing skin/hair management. This non-cutting element allows the fine-tuning of parameters such as blade-skin contact, hair orientation, blade spans and rinse-through gaps in manners that improve shaving comfort, closeness, efficiency, and/or rinse-ability. The non-cutting element may include projections, fin-like elements, comb-like features having teeth, exfoliation or lubricating capabilities. By having a fixed non-cutting element disposed midway in a blade array, a multi-stage cartridge is provided with a middle control point with potentially different functionality before and after the non-cutting element. The non-cutting element is not attached to another blade in the blade array though it may be manufactured as a modified blade support, attached to a blade support, or as part of the frame or the clips.

A shaving blade cartridge includes a housing extending along a longitudinal axis having a top side, a bottom side opposite to the top side, and first and second longitudinal sides each extending longitudinally along the longitudinal axis between the top and bottom sides. A primary cutting blade is mounted on the housing between the first and second longitudinal sides, and has a cutting edge. A primary cap is located rearward of the cutting edge. A primary guard is located forward of the cutting edge. A trimming element, mounted on the housing, has a trimming edge. The trimming edge and the cutting edge are opposite one another. The primary cap is provided on a rear element, and the rear element is fitted on the housing. The trimming element is sandwiched between the housing and the primary cap.

A shaving implement comprises a cutting portion and an end portion. Further, the cutting portion transitions between a straight configuration and a bent configuration based on an application of an external force on the cutting portion. forming a bend in the cutting portion characterized by a curvature and a direction. Further, transitioning the cutting portion from the configuration to the straight configuration comprises removing the bend. Further, the cutting portion is not transitionable between the straight configuration and the bent configuration without the application of the external force. Further, the cutting portion comprises a blade slot for receiving a blade. Further, the cutting portion curves the blade in a blade shape based on the forming of the bend. Further, the end portion removably holds the cutting portion.

A razor cartridge having a housing including a frame with a non-cutting element, a guard and a cap. The non-cutting element has a plurality of open slots defined between a pair of projections disposed next to each other. A first razor blade is positioned between the guard and the non-cutting element and has a blade edge extending toward the guard. The non-cutting element is spaced apart from the first razor blade. A second razor blade is positioned between the non-cutting element and the cap and has a blade edge extending toward the guard. The non-cutting element is spaced apart from the second razor blade. A first rinse-through gap between the first razor blade and the non-cutting element of about 0.05 mm to about 0.5 mm. A second rinse-through gap between the second razor blade and the non-cutting of about 0.05 mm to about 0.6 mm.

A shaving blade cartridge includes a housing having first and second longitudinal sides extending between top and bottom sides. A primary cutting blade having a cutting edge is mounted on the housing. A primary cap provided on the top side of the housing is located rearward of the cutting edge. A trimming element includes a trimming edge being opposite from the cutting edge. A trimming guard bar provided on the bottom side of the housing includes a trimming guard bar edge. The trimming edge, the trimming guard bar edge, and an external surface of the trimming guard bar define a theoretical limit trimming curve. The theoretical limit trimming curve includes a first point passing through the trimming edge and a second point passing through the trimming guard bar edge such that the theoretical limit trimming curve encompasses the trimming guard bar and the primary cap.

A razor that facilitates a user's removal of shaving lubricant, cut hairs, and other shaving-related debris, from around, and between, the razor's blade(s). A scoop at the upper portion of the razor's blade assembly funnels water to the blade channel in which the blades are affixed, and at least a portion of that water flows around and/or over the blade(s). The scoop captures, and directs through the razor's blades, a greater volume of water per unit time than can be achieved with an unmodified blade assembly. The cross-sectional area of the scoop's inflow mouth is greater than that of the blade channel's outflow mouth, thereby promoting a Venturi effect which increases the speed of the water's flow over the blades.

A shaving blade cartridge includes a housing having first and second longitudinal sides extend longitudinally along a longitudinal axis. A primary cutting blade with a cutting edge is mounted on the housing, and a primary cap is located rearward of the cutting edge. A trimming element having a trimming edge is mounted on the housing, and the trimming edge and cutting edge are disposed opposite from each other. A trimming guard bar edge corresponds to an intersection between an apex of the trimming guard bar and an upper horizontal surface of the trimming guard bar. The trimming edge, trimming guard bar, and an external surface of the trimming guard bar define a theoretical limit trimming curve (TLTC). The TLTC passes through the trimming edge and through the trimming guard bar edge such that the TLTC encloses the trimming guard bar and the primary cap.
