A razor cartridge includes a plurality of razor blades installed in one direction of a cartridge frame, and a trimmer installed in the other direction of the cartridge frame, wherein the trimmer includes a trimming blade seated in a seating groove formed in the cartridge frame, and a trimmer cap coupled to both sides of the cartridge frame so that the trimming blade is fixed.

A method of assembling a razor cartridge. A housing is injection molded. An elastomer is co-injection molded to the housing forming a pair of laterally spaced apart blade stabilizers. A primary blade member having a cutting edge is mounted to the housing. The cutting edge of the primary blade member is contacted with the laterally spaced apart blade stabilizers. A blade retention member is mounted to a top surface of the housing. A pair of lateral ends of the cutting edge of the primary blade member is constrained between the blade retention member and the pair of laterally spaced apart blade stabilizers.

A consumer appliance with a body. A cartridge removably mounted to the body. The cartridge having a surface with a first colored region and a second colored region. A control circuit positioned within the body. A first emitter that projects a first light at the first colored region and a second light at the second colored region. A first light sensor mounted the body that sends a first signal to the control circuit based on a color of light reflected from the first colored region. A second light sensor mounted to the body that sends a second signal to the control circuit based on a color of the light reflected from the second colored region.

A razor head includes a frame including two opposing long side walls and two opposing short side walls, connectors each connecting two points of the frame in an interior of the frame, and elongated blades arranged on an inner side of the frame. The blades are coupled to only two of the connectors, the two connectors to which the blades are coupled connecting the two long side walls to each other. In a case where a position in the frame in a longitudinal direction is represented by a percentage, when a middle of the frame in the longitudinal direction is 0% and two ends of the frame in the longitudinal direction that correspond to inner surfaces of the two short side walls are 100%, the two connectors to which the blades are coupled are each arranged in a range from 30% to 90% between the middle and the two ends.

A blade element for a razor cartridge includes a blade support, a blade and a comb-like element. The blade support includes a base portion and a bent upper portion. The blade is arranged at the upper portion of the blade support and includes a cutting edge. The comb-like element includes a shaft and a plurality of teeth. The comb-like element is arranged parallel to the blade. The plurality of teeth extend parallel to each other form the shaft to beyond the cutting edge of the blade. Further, the comb-like element is disposed above the blade.

A razor cartridge comprises a housing, wherein the housing comprises a group of cutting members arranged between a trailing longitudinal side and a leading longitudinal side along a first shaving direction. The group of cutting members includes at least two forward facing blades, forward facing blades being characterized by facing in the first shaving direction of the razor cartridge. Additionally, the group of cutting members includes at least one backward facing blade, a backward facing blade being characterized by facing opposite to the first shaving direction of the razor cartridge. The at least one backward facing blade, is placed between the at least two forward facing blades, or the at least one backward facing blade, is the cutting member closest to the leading longitudinal side.

A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a blade platform. A first blade retention member is positioned on the blade platform and has a front wall formed by a first wall and a second wall that define an obtuse included angle. A second blade retention member is positioned on the blade platform and has a rear wall facing the front wall of the first blade retention member. The rear wall has a first wall and a second wall that define an obtuse included angle. A blade member is positioned between the front wall and the rear wall. The second walls have a contact length of about 0.2 mm to about 1.0 mm.

A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a bottom surface with a pair of guide members. A blade carrier has a first end with a blade platform with a tab extending from the blade platform to a second end. A blade is mounted to the blade platform. The blade platform is mounted to the bottom surface with the tab being unsupported and positioned between the pair of guides members.

A shaving razor system with a handle having a first end with a top surface defining recessed surface between a pair of guide surfaces. A shaving razor cartridge is removably mounted to the first end of the handle. The shaving razor cartridge includes a housing and a blade carrier assembly. The blade carrier assembly has a blade carrier with a blade platform at a first end, a tab extending from the blade platform to a second end. The tab has a crest between a pair of angled surfaces of the tab. A blade is mounted to the blade platform. The blade has a cutting edge. The tab flexes between a first position and a second position.
