A razor cartridge is proposed. The razor cartridge may include at least one blade having a cutting edge. The blade may include a substrate including a substrate tip, and a coating layer formed on the substrate to form the cutting edge. The coating layer may include a first facet extending toward one side from a final tip forming a tip of the cutting edge, a second facet extending toward the other side from the final tip, a third facet extending from the first facet, and a fourth facet extending from the second facet. A distance between a second wedge formed at a boundary between the second facet and the fourth facet and a dividing line dividing the final tip may be longer or shorter with a deviation 20% as compared to a distance between a first wedge formed at a boundary between the first facet and the third facet and the dividing line.

Replaceable shaving assemblies are disclosed that include a razor cartridge having a blade geometry that is designed to provide a close, comfortable shave. Shaving systems including such shaving assemblies are also disclosed, as are methods of using such shaving systems and methods of manufacturing these cartridges.

The present invention is directed to an arrangement of blades mounted within a razor cartridge. The razor cartridge includes a blade housing; and a plurality of blades including a first blade and a second blade, wherein a thickness of an edge portion of the first blade is less than a thickness of an edge portion of the second blade, and wherein a first span in front of the first blade is less than a second span in front of the second blade.

A flexible razor assembly for shaving contours on a user's body includes a handle that has a blade channel integrated therein. A lever is pivotally coupled to the handle and a blade case is coupled to the lever. The blade case is positionable in an open position and a closed position and the blade case is bendable to conform to curvature of a user's body. A blade is provided and the blade is comprised of a bendable material. The blade is positionable in the blade case having a cutting edge of the blade being exposed for shaving the user's body.

A razor cartridge having a first blade proximal to a front of the cartridge and having one or more first coatings disposed thereon, a second blade proximal to a back of the cartridge, the second blade having one or more second coatings disposed thereon, wherein a thickness of at least one of the one or more first coatings disposed on the first blade is less than a thickness of at least one of the one or more second coatings disposed on the second blade.

A razor cartridge having a first blade proximal to a front of the cartridge and having one or more first coatings disposed thereon, a second blade proximal to a back of the cartridge, the second blade having one or more second coatings disposed thereon, wherein a thickness of at least one of the one or more first coatings disposed on the first blade is less than a thickness of at least one of the one or more second coatings disposed on the second blade.

A razor cartridge comprising three or more substantially parallel cutting members disposed between a leading longitudinal side and a trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge. Each of the cutting members comprises a blade support comprising a blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane, and a blade attached to the blade mounting portion. The cutting members are disposed to define a plurality of inter-blade spans between cutting edges of the blades. A leading inter-blade span that is closer to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than a trailing inter-blade span is different to the trailing inter-blade span that is closer to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than the leading inter-blade span.

A cutting member (1) for a shaving cartridge includes a front side, a back side opposing the front side, and a flat cutting portion (2) with a cutting edge portion (4). Further the cutting member includes a first bent portion (8), an intermediate portion (11), a second bent portion (9) and a base portion (10) that are made out of one single piece of material. The first bent portion is integral with the flat cutting portion. The first bent portion is convex on the back side of the cutting member, and the second bent portion is concave on the back side of the cutting member. The proposed shape of the cutting member resembles an S shape or a question mark shape.

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 safety razor that includes a handle; a head on one end of the handle, with the head adapted to hold a razor blade and having a top plate and a bottom plate; a razor blade having first and second portions which each terminate at a blade edge; and a slot configured on first and second portions of the bottom plate, each slot configured and dimensioned for receiving one portion of the razor blade and for holding the blade edge at a predetermined angle with respect to the bottom plate. The most preferred blade edge angle is approximately 30 with respect to the bottom plate.
