A shaving blade member may include a first portion disposed in a first plane, wherein an end of the first portion includes a tapered cutting edge; a second portion extending from the first portion and disposed in a second plane, the second plane being at an angle with the first plane; wherein the second portion comprises one or more protrusions, the one or more protrusions being movable relative to the second portion.

This application relates to a razor cartridge including a housing and a skin engaging member, the skin engaging member including a superabsorbent polymer, wherein the superabsorbent polymer is a swellable carrier being loaded with one or more skin active agents.

A razor cartridge is disclosed. The present disclosure in at least one embodiment provides a razor cartridge including a blade housing and a lubrication member providing unit, wherein the blade housing is configured to accommodate at least one first shaving blade having a cutting edge and at least one second shaving blade having a cutting edge to lie in a longitudinal direction, the lubrication member providing unit is configured to provide a lubrication member, and the lubrication member providing unit is coupled to the blade housing so that the lubrication member is positioned between the first shaving blade and the second shaving blade.

One embodiment of a dual sided razor comprises a handle and a cartridge attached to the handle, the cartridge further comprising a first shaving side and a second shaving side, the cartridge being switchable relative to the handle between the first and second shaving sides.

A shaving razor cartridge includes a housing and at least one razor blade. The housing extends between front and rear ends. The housing includes a blade support portion and a handle interface portion. The blade support portion is positioned between the front and rear ends. The blade support portion includes a cap and a guard that is spaced from the cap and cooperates with the cap to define a shaving plane. The handle interface portion is positioned between the front and rear ends and includes a front and rear wall. The front and rear walls each include a lower surface and an interior surface. The at least one razor blade is disposed in the blade support portion between the cap and the guard. The lower surfaces cooperate to define a lower opening. The interior surfaces cooperate to at least partially define a handle receptacle that extends to the lower opening.

A system and a method for adaptively releasing a lubricant or a cosmetic for a razor cartridge, a sensing unit detects a property of at least one of skin, air, water and a chemical agent in a region adjacent to the razor cartridge. A smart polymer provided on the razor cartridge is selectively responsive to a characteristic external stimulus by undergoing a physical or chemical change. A processing unit controls the release of the lubricant or the cosmetic by providing the characteristic external stimulus to cause the smart polymer to undergo a change. The processing unit compares the detected property to a reference threshold parameter and determines whether to provide the characteristic external stimulus to the smart polymer based on the comparison, thereby generating the lubricant or the cosmetic. The determined level of depletion of the smart polymer is indicated by a light, aural, or haptic indication.

This invention relates to a novel application of liquid-infused surface materials (LISM) to at least a portion of one or more surfaces of razor components (e.g., frame, housing, clips, blade supports, blade body, blade edge, lubricating bodies, guard, handle, grip, button). If applied to a skin contacting surface of a component, the one or more LISM layers may generally be abrasion-resistant, long-lasting or non-erodible, desirably elevating shaving performance, such as glide, comfort, rinsing, and cleanliness, while also simplifying the manufacturing process.

A razor head, comprising a housing comprising one or more cutting elements, the housing further comprising a first window, and a second window; a substrate-based shaving aid delivery system, comprising a first reel that is rotatably mounted about a shaft, an actuator operationally coupled with the shaft, wherein at least part of the actuator protrudes externally from the housing via the first window; and a substrate carrying a shaving aid on its external surface.

One embodiment of a dual sided razor comprises a handle and a cartridge attached to the handle, the cartridge further comprising a first shaving side and a second shaving side, the cartridge being switchable relative to the handle between the first and second shaving sides.

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.
