In one aspect, the invention features, in general, a method of assembling a shaving razor cartridge by providing a housing having a primary guard and a secondary cap. A first blade having a cutting edge is mounted to the housing. A second blade having a cutting edge is mounted to the housing. A bridge member having a pair of spaced apart legs is mounted to the housing immediately between the first blade and the second blade. The first blade, the second blade and the bridge member are secured to the housing with at least one clip.

A skin adapter designed to attach to a head unit of a razor, the skin adapter including an outer member, the outer member having a leading portion with a leading side, a trailing portion with a trailing side, and an aperture arranged between the leading portion and the trailing portion, the leading portion and trailing portion being positioned on an outermost surface of the outer member, the aperture being inaccessible from the leading and trailing side, and one or more ribbons positioned within the aperture of the outer member, the ribbons extending between the leading portion and trailing portion of the outer member.

A razor assembly includes a razor cartridge, a connector and a recovering force provider. The razor cartridge includes at least one shaving blade having a cutting edge, and a blade housing configured to receive the at least one shaving blade in a transverse direction. The connector is configured to extend in parallel with the transverse direction, and to be coupled to the blade housing so as to be pivotable around a pivot axis movable between a first rest position and a first position spaced apart from the first rest position in a first shaving direction. The recovering force provider includes a first recovering member configured to provide the connector with a recovering force for recovering the pivot axis to the first rest position when the pivot axis is located between the first rest position and the first position.

A razor cartridge including a first housing portion having a first top surface positioned on a first plane; one or more razor blade members mounted in the first housing portion and each including a blade with a cutting edge; and a second housing portion rotatably attached to the first housing portion. The second housing portion has a second top surface positioned on a second plane, and the second top surface includes an engagement surface configured to receive a shaving razor component. The second housing portion has a first position in which the second plane is positioned at an angle of between negative 30 degrees and 30 degrees with respect to the first plane and a second position in which the second plane is positioned at an angle of between 70 degrees to 130 degrees with respect to the first plane.

A shaving razor system includes a razor handle that docks with a razor cartridge. The handle is configured to dock with the razor cartridge using a single hook configured to mate with a cartridge tab. A central pushrod is mounted with a spring into the handle and is configured to exert a pushing force on the mounted cartridge. To eject the cartridge, the single hook may be pushed to pivot to the side of the cartridge tab, and thereby release the razor cartridge by ejecting it with the spring loaded pushrod.

Disclosed is a blade unit for a safety razor comprising a connecting structure for fixing the blade unit to a handle, a blade housing comprising a plurality of blades having cutting edges lying in a shaving plane, and a rear portion next to the plurality of blades, comprising a non-flexible back portion extending parallel to the shaving plane, and a lubricating pad having a flexible portion and a non-flexible portion, the non-flexible portion being arranged on and supported by the non-flexible back portion, the flexible portion extending rearwards from the non-flexible portion beyond the non-flexible back portion to define a rear edge of the rear portion of the blade unit, the flexible portion forming a convex skin-contacting surface when bending away from the shaving plane in use.

A razor cartridge comprising three or more substantially parallel cutting members disposed between a leading longitudinal side and a trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge. Each of the cutting members comprises a blade support comprising a blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane, and a blade attached to the blade mounting portion. The cutting members are disposed to define a plurality of inter-blade spans between cutting edges of the blades. A leading inter-blade span that is closer to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than a trailing inter-blade span is different to the trailing inter-blade span that is closer to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than the leading inter-blade span.

A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a top surface and a bottom surface. A guard is at the front of the housing. A cap is at a rear of the housing. At least one blade is mounted to the housing between the guard and the cap. The housing has a wall defining an opening extending from the top surface to the bottom surface that is configured to receive a portion of a handle. The bottom surface has a handle docking alignment member indicating an intended direction for the handle to be inserted into the opening.

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.
