A razor head that includes a housing having a top face defining a shaving window delimited by a front guard and a rear cap together defining a tangent plane, at least one rigid cutting member, each freely mounted in the housing, and having a cutting edge portion extending along a cutting edge portion axis, and having a cutting edge accessible through the shaving window, a guided portion extending along a guided portion axis, and a bent portion intermediate the cutting edge portion and the guided portion. An angle measured between the cutting edge axis and the tangent plane is between 5° and 30°.

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 shaving blade cartridge includes a housing having first and second longitudinal sides extending between top and bottom sides. A primary cutting blade is mounted on the housing and has a cutting edge. A primary cap is located rearward of the cutting edge. A trimming element includes a trimming edge, the trimming edge and the cutting edge being opposite. A trimming guard bar includes a trimming guard bar edge. The trimming edge, the trimming guard bar edge, and a tangent to the trimming guard bar in the vicinity of the trimming guard bar edge define a theoretical limit trimming curve which is concave when viewed in relation to the trimming guard bar. The trimming guard bar is disposed behind and/or tangential to the theoretical limit trimming curve toward the second longitudinal side, such that the trimming guard bar does not project beyond the theoretical limit trimming curve.

Replaceable shaving assemblies are disclosed that include a razor cartridge having a lubricating strip geometry that is designed to work with the blade geometry and other cartridge features to provide a close, comfortable shave over the intended lifetime of the cartridge. Shaving systems including such shaving assemblies are also disclosed, as are methods of using such shaving systems and methods of manufacturing these cartridges.

A cutting member may include a base portion configured to couple the cutting member to a razor cartridge being formed of a single sheet of material or multiple fixedly connected sheets of material, the base portion defining two opposite broad surfaces and edges connecting the broad surfaces, a first cutting edge portion connected to one edge of the base portion and extending at an angle in a first direction, and a second cutting edge portion connected to the one edge of the base portion and extending at an angle in a second direction different from the first direction.

A razor including a razor handle and a shaving blade assembly. The shaving blade assembly includes a blade unit and a skin contact member and a razor. The blade unit includes at least one shaving blade having a cutting edge. The blade unit includes a blade unit plane, and the cutting edge includes a first blade angle with regard to the blade unit plane. The skin contact member defines a contact plane, and the cutting edge includes a second blade angle with regard to the contact plane.

A miniature disposable nasal razor comprised of a handle, blades, and safety guard, used to remove hair from small confined spaces otherwise unreachable with conventional razors. An efficient inverted U-shape is applied to all blades and safety guard, otherwise maintaining the spatial relationships between blades, and blades and guard, found in conventional straight edge disposable shavers. The longitudinal axis of the shaving head is offset from the longitudinal axis of the handle providing ergonomic benefit to the user.

A razor cartridge comprising a housing extending longitudinally along a longitudinal axis, wherein the housing comprises a leading longitudinal side, a trailing longitudinal side, and a cutting member mounting portion in-between the leading and trailing longitudinal sides for accommodating a plurality of cutting members; and a plurality of cutting members disposed at least partially in the cutting member mounting portion, wherein each cutting member is arranged between a leading longitudinal side and a trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge, wherein one or more of the cutting members comprises a blade support having a blade mounting portion, and a blade attached to the blade mounting portion.

Replaceable shaving assemblies are disclosed that include a razor cartridge having a lubricating strip geometry that is designed to work with the blade geometry and other cartridge features to provide a close, comfortable shave over the intended lifetime of the cartridge. Shaving systems including such shaving assemblies are also disclosed, as are methods of using such shaving systems and methods of manufacturing these cartridges.

A method of manufacturing a blade carrier assembly. A sheet of metal having a thickness of 0.1 mm to 1 mm is provided. The sheet of metal is cut to form a blade carrier blank having a blade platform and a tab extending from the blade platform. The tab is coined to form a crest. At least one window is cut into the sheet of metal. The blade carrier blank is bent along the at least one window to form an upper portion and a lower portion. A blade is mounted to the lower portion. The blade is clamped by bending the upper portion toward the lower portion until the blade is in contact with both the upper portion and the lower portion.
