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.

A razor blade including a substrate with a cutting edge portion ending in a sharpened tip. The substrate having a thickness of between 1.55 and 1.97 micrometers measured at a distance of five micrometers from the tip, a thickness of between 4.6 and 6.34 micrometers measured at a distance of twenty micrometers from the tip, and a thickness of between 19.8 and 27.12 micrometers measured at a distance of one hundred micrometers from the tip.

In one aspect, a method of preparing a meat skinner blade is provided which includes: abrading an upper edge of a steel strip to form an angularly-offset two-facet blade edge; and, honing the two-facet blade edge of the steel strip to impart a vertical taper along the two facets of the two-facet blade edge. Advantageously, the subject invention provides a blade for meat skinning, de-membraning, and derinding having, in use, a downwardly-turned edge with vertical tapering. This provides for a robust design capable for more cuts, and, thus, longer use life, than standard meat skinner blades.

A shaving cartridge (1) with connectors (3) on each side portion of the plurality of side portions (2C) of the housing (2D) and a plurality of cutting members (7). Each of the connectors is operable to permit the side portions to pivot relative to each other. Thus, the housing will assume different configurations and is operable to adapt to and follow a contour defined by a shaving surface.

A cartridge for a razor comprises at least one blade and a first blade support configured to attach the at least one blade to the cartridge. The first blade support includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, a first optical feature provided on one or more of the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion. The first optical feature is selected from one or more of a color, a coating, a texture, a perforation, a transparency of the blade support, a light emitting source, a protrusion and a sticker.

A razor cartridge includes: a blade housing accommodating a plurality of blades including at least a first blade and a second blade; a first contact member arranged at a front side of the plurality of blades with respect to a shaving direction; and a second contact member arranged at a rear side of the plurality of blades with respect to the shaving direction, each blade including an edge portion and a base, wherein a thickness of a first position of the edge portion of the first blade is less than a thickness of a corresponding second position of the edge portion of the second blade, and wherein a first exposure amount of the first blade with respect to a contact plane defined between the first contact member and the second contact member is less than a second exposure amount of the second blade with respect to the contact plane.
