The present disclosure provides a razor cartridge including at least one shaving blade having a cutting edge, a blade housing configured to accommodate the at least one shaving blade aligned in a transverse direction, a heated area formed at the blade housing, and comprising at least one heating pattern made of a conductive material, and a non-heated area formed at the blade housing made of a material different from the heated area, wherein the conductive material included in the at least one heating pattern is a conductive plastic or metallic material, and wherein the heated area is configured to generate heat by receiving electric power from a power supply.

A shaving blade assembly and a method of using a shaving blade assembly comprising a blade, a first resilient element supporting the blade and arranged to urge the blade in a first direction substantially orthogonal to a cutting edge of the blade; and a first movable member configured to selectively engage the first resilient element, in the first direction in at least one position, to impede deformation of the first resilient element.

One or more implementation disclosed herein provides razor assemblies that allow a user to have a less than smooth shave by changing the distance between razor blades and a razor blade guard. The distance between the razor blade(s) and the guard may be increased or decreased using a movable knob mechanism, a rotatable dial mechanism, a movable razor assembly and housing mechanism, a rotatable threaded handle, one or more slider mechanisms, a rotating blade mechanism, etc.

A shaving blade assembly and a method of using a shaving blade assembly comprising a blade, a resilient element supporting the blade and arranged to urge the blade in a first direction orthogonal to a cutting edge of the blade; and a first movable member configured to abut the blade in a second direction opposite to the first direction and to be held in at least one position.

A razor assembly includes a guide housing; a drive receiving member disposed on one side of the guide housing and movable in a first direction with respect to the guide housing; a blade housing disposed on another side of the guide housing; at least one shaving blade disposed at the blade housing; a razor handle extending from the guide housing; and a drive transmission member configured to transmit a driving force to the drive receiving member. The blade housing is configured to be moved with respect to the guide housing in a second direction that is not parallel to the first direction in response to movement of the drive receiving member in the first direction. The drive receiving member is further configured to be moved in the first direction with respect to the guide housing by the driving force transmitted from the drive transmission member.

A skin adapter is configured to attach to a head unit of a razor, the skin adapter comprising an outer member configured to attach to the head unit. The outer member having a leading portion, trailing portion, and an aperture arranged between the leading portion and the trailing portion. The leading portion and trailing portion are positioned on an outermost surface of the outer member. One or more of the ribbons are positioned within the aperture of the outer member, the ribbons extending between the leading portion and trailing portion of the outer member. A method of making a skin adapter and a razor including a skin adapter.

A razor cartridge includes a housing having a portion that forms a cavity and a retaining element configured to maintain a blade in the housing. The retaining element has a top portion that includes an aperture therethrough, a bottom portion, and an intermediate portion connecting the top portion to the bottom portion to define an interior volume between the top portion and the bottom portion. The cavity is fitted with a shaving aid. The retaining element is connectable to the housing so that the shaving aid is encompassed by the interior volume of the retaining element.

Disclosed is a blade unit for a safety razor, comprising a blade housing comprising a plurality of blades having respective cutting edges lying in a shaving plane and being arranged to exert a cutting action when moved across a user's skin; and a guard in front of the cutting edges and a cap to the rear of the cutting edges, the guard including an elongate lubricating strip, and the cap including a convex lubricating pad having a convex skin-contacting surface and a rear edge curved in a single arc shape along its entirety. A skin-contacting surface of the convex lubricating pad is greater than a skin-contacting surface of the elongate lubricating strip, the convex lubricating pad and the elongate lubricating strip together extend along at least 60% of an outer perimeter of the blade unit, and the convex lubricating pad extends along at least 30% of the outer perimeter of the blade unit.

One or more implementation disclosed herein provides razor assemblies that allow a user to have a less than smooth shave by changing the distance between razor blades and a razor blade guard. The distance between the razor blade(s) and the guard may be increased or decreased using a movable knob mechanism, a rotatable dial mechanism, a movable razor assembly and housing mechanism, a rotatable threaded handle, one or more slider mechanisms, a rotating blade mechanism, etc.

A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a guard and a cap. A pair of laterally spaced apart blade stabilizers are on the housing. A primary blade member is positioned between the guard and the cap. A blade retention member is mounted to a top surface of the housing. The primary blade member has a cutting edge constrained between the blade retention member and the pair of laterally spaced apart blade stabilizers.
