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.

A wet shaving device comprising a motor; an actuator configured to vary the speed of the motor; a rotary blade module having at least one cutting element; and a drive train assembly including at least one shaft operatively coupling the motor and the rotary blade module, wherein the at least one shaft may be configured to transfer the rotational movement of the motor to the rotary blade module.

A trimming assembly for dreadlocks comprises a handle. A cutting head is operatively connected to the handle. The cutting head comprises a cutting head body defining a receptacle at a radial end thereof. The receptacle is structured to receive a dreadlock. A blade protector is positioned axially within the receptacle. A curvature of the blade protector corresponds to a curvature of an inner wall of the receptacle. A blade is interposed between the blade protector and the inner wall. The blade defines a cutting edge at an axial end thereof proximate to the handle. The cutting edge is structured to cut loose hair protruding outwards from the dreadlock as the cutting head is moved along the dreadlock.

A method of assembling a razor cartridge. A housing is injection molded. An elastomer is co-injection molded to the housing forming a pair of laterally spaced apart blade stabilizers. A primary blade member having a cutting edge is mounted to the housing. The cutting edge of the primary blade member is contacted with the laterally spaced apart blade stabilizers. A blade retention member is mounted to a top surface of the housing. A pair of lateral ends of the cutting edge of the primary blade member is constrained between the blade retention member and the pair of laterally spaced apart blade stabilizers.

An integrally formed rigid razor blade is provided. The razor blade includes a cutting edge portion extending along a cutting edge portion axis and having a cutting edge at one end, a base portion extending along a base portion axis, and a bent portion intermediate the cutting edge portion and the base portion. The bent portion has an average radius of curvature of between 0.4 millimeters and 1.00 millimeters. The cutting edge portion has a cantilever dimension which is a constant distance of between 1.1 millimeters and 1.8 millimeters when measured from the cutting edge portion to the base portion axis.

The present invention provides a razor. A body has blade protrusion holes provided in an outer circumferential surface thereof in both directions. A handle unit is configured such that one end of the body is fitted thereinto, and guides the body to a location in which the body is to be accommodated. A blade holder is inserted into the body and guiding coupling of blades such that the blades protrude from the body at different lengths.

A shaving component for a shaving cartridge including at least one cutting member and at least one flexible strip onto which the cutting member is assembled. The flexible strip is able to assume different configurations such as a planar, convex and/or convex configuration while retaining the cutting member in a desired position. The shaving component is configured to be fastened to the shaving cartridge such as a hinged shaving cartridge.

A razor blade has a symmetrical tapering blade edge ending in a blade tip. The razor blade includes a substrate and a coating covering the substrate. The coating includes a soft coating and a hard coating. The hard coating includes at least a main layer. The soft coating covers the hard coating. The substrate includes a substrate tip having specific a thickness at distances of 5 micrometers, 20 micrometers, 40 micrometers, and 250 micrometers from the substrate tip.
