A grooming device having a housing with a blade receiving section and a handle section. A blade is disposed within the blade receiving section of the housing and retained within the housing by a removable cap. The handle section is removably connected to a holder. Preferably, the housing has a circular top edge and bottom edge that have diameters greater than a transition section in-between.

An integral razor blade which is thin and has improved strength by shaping a geometrical structure of the razor blade and a razor cartridge using the same. The razor blade includes a base portion, a bent portion extending in a bent manner from one end of the base portion, and an edge portion extending from one end of the bent portion, a cutting edge being formed at one end of the edge portion. A first separation distance X between a straight line extending in a longitudinal direction from a front surface of the base portion and an end point of the cutting edge ranges from 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm.

According to one embodiment, a shaving blade includes a substrate having a cutting edge provided with a sharp substrate tip, wherein a thickness T16 of the substrate measured at a distance D16, which is 16 micrometers from the substrate tip, is in a range from 2.41 micrometers to 3.76 micrometers.

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 razor cartridge comprising a first blade support and a second blade support, each of the first and second blade supports include a flat portion having a lower surface and a front end. A support plane S is tangent to the respective front ends of the first and second blade supports and the lower surface faces away from the support plane S. A first blade is attached to the lower surface of the flat portion of the first blade support. The first blade includes a first cutting edge. A second blade is attached to the lower surface of the flat portion of the second blade support. The second blade includes a second cutting edge. The first and second cutting edges are offset with respect to the support plane S.

Disclosed here are shaving razor systems and methods including razor cartridges with a unitary frame having a length and width, a topside and an underside, wherein the unitary frame includes angled joints or bends connecting at least three guards running lengthwise on the unitary frame, the guards separated by at least three gaps in the frame, and at least three blades, affixed to the underside of the guards of the unitary frame, wherein the at least three blades include edges, and wherein the blade edges extend into the gaps in the frame when affixed to the underside of the guards of the unitary frame.

A cutting member for a shaving cartridge is provided that includes a flat cutting portion, a bent portion, and a base portion. The flat cutting portion has a front cutting-edge portion. The bent portion is intermediate to the base portion and the flat cutting portion. The bent portion and the base portion are made out of one single piece of material. The bent portion is arranged such that it is adjacent to the front cutting portion. The proposed shape of the cutting member resembles a reverse L.

A razor blade including a substrate with a coating joined to the substrate defining a coated blade. The coated blade including a cutting edge being defined by a blade tip having a tip radius of from 50 to 350 angstroms. The coated blade having a pair of first facets extending from the blade tip and a pair of second facets extending from the respective first facets, a facet angle from 90° to 135°, a facet width from 0.38 micrometers to 0.65 micrometers a wedge angle from 5° to 30°, and a thickness of between 0.8 and 1.5 micrometers measured at a distance of 1 micrometer from the blade tip.
