A safety razor for personal grooming having a handle, a cap, an attachment mechanism, a double sided base plate, and a double edged safety razor blade. The double sided base plate comprising a central aperture for enabling the engagement between the handle and the cap; a first side having a first angled blade-engaging surface opposite a second angled blade-engaging surface, the first and second blade engaging surfaces defining a respective first and second blade gap when the razor blade is secured between the cap and the first side of the double sided base plate; and a second side having a third angled blade-engaging surface opposite a fourth angled blade-engaging surface, the third and fourth blade engaging surfaces defining a respective third and fourth blade gap when the razor blade is secured between the cap and the second side of the double sided base plate.

A safety razor includes a handle portion and a head portion that is removably coupled to the handle. The head portion includes a guard member, a replaceable blade member, a replaceable lubrication member that has a lubrication substance applied or attached thereto, and a cap member. The blade member and the lubrication member are independently removable and replaceable relative to each other and the head portion.

A razor blade is provided. The razor blade includes a substrate including a substrate tip, and a first surface and a second surface extending from the substrate tip; and a coating, layered on the substrate, including an ultimate tip, and a first cutting surface and a second cutting surface extending from the ultimate tip and corresponding to the first surface and the second surface, respectively, wherein the first cutting surface includes a first facet extending from the ultimate tip and a second facet extending from the first facet, the second cutting surface includes a third facet extending from the ultimate tip and corresponding to the first facet and the second facet, a first line tangent to the first facet and a second line tangent to the second facet are not parallel, and the ultimate tip is deviated from a central line that divides the substrate in two and passes through the substrate tip.

An implement including a first plate and a second plate, each plate having a contact surface which abuts a contact surface of the other plate to establish an interface plane, and a gradient of at least one additive that is more concentrated at the interface plane and less concentrated in decreasing amounts progressing away from the interface plane and the contact surface for each plate, wherein the at least one additive alters at least one property of each plate. Materials with internal gradients and methods of making same.

A hand-held shaving device includes a blade carrier top and a blade carrier base that cooperate to secure a double-edge razor blade in place. The blade carrier top and the blade carrier base mount onto a shaver base that is designed to be held in a hand of a user. When assembled, the device provides rests that contact a body surface to be shaved and when in contact with the body surface set the razor blade at an optimal shaving angle. A process of shaving comprises contacting the body surface to be shaved and moving the device in a direction of the razor blade edge. The device is designed so that it can be used in either hand.
