A razor handle and an exchangeable razor blade cartridge and method for releasing the exchangeable razor blade cartridge from the razor handle. The razor handle includes an elongated body, a connector, and a release mechanism. The connector is configured to connect an exchangeable razor blade cartridge to the razor handle and the release mechanism is configured to release the exchangeable razor blade cartridge from the razor handle. The razor handle further includes a release trigger, offset from the connector in a longitudinal direction of the elongated body, and a transmission mechanism connecting the release trigger to the release mechanism.

An exfoliation bar for a shaving razor with a skin contacting footprint area of at least 30 mm.sup.2 and comprising a material having a Shore A durometer greater than 50. The exfoliation bar has a plurality of skin protrusion elements with a tip having radius of 0.02 mm to 0.25 mm positioned within the skin contacting footprint area. The skin protrusion elements have a leading face that intersects an average tip plane at an angle of 80 degrees to 145 degrees. A volume isolated by a construction plane 0.1 mm below the tip of the skin protrusion elements divided by the skin contacting footprint area is 0.003 mm.sup.3 to 0.04 mm.sup.3 per mm.sup.2 of footprint area.

This application relates to a suspension housing configured to provide a movable connection between a razor blade assembly and a razor handle. The suspension housing comprises a connector being movably attached to the razor blade assembly and a suspension device operably coupled to the connector. The suspension device is configured to allow axial movement of the connector along a main axis, and rotational movement of the connector about the main axis.

A coupling mechanism for a shaving device comprising a first connector a second connector defining a cavity being configured to receive the first connector, a first coupling element included on the second connector, the first coupling element configured to move between a first coupling element first position and a first coupling element second position, a second coupling element positioned within the cavity, the second coupling element configured to move between a second coupling element first position and a second coupling element second position, and wherein movement of the second coupling element to the second coupling element second position causes the first coupling element to be maintained in the first coupling element second position to secure engagement of the first connector and the second connector.

An interconnecting member (10) for a razor comprises a housing (11), a pivoting support arm (12) and a resilient engaging arm (13). The housing (11) internally has a receiving cavity (111), the receiving cavity (111) penetrates through an upper end face (112) and a lower end face (113) of the housing (11); a free end (131) of the resilient engaging arm (13) is bent towards the rear of the housing (11) and is located in the receiving cavity (111), and the free end (131) of the resilient engaging arm (13) has an upper surface (1311), a lower surface (1312) and an inclined surface (1313).

A razor blade assembly has a handle, a head having a cutting blade assembly of one or more cutting blades connected to the handle; and a spacer which is mounted to or is formed as part of the head to space the cutting edges of the blades from the skin of a user to create and maintain a 5 o'clock shadow appearance beard in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm in thickness.

A handle for a shaving razor adapted to releasably support a razor cartridge is provided. The handle includes a handle body and an actuation button. The handle body includes an arm assembly having a pair of arms extending in a plane and being adapted to engage the razor cartridge. The actuation button is configured to move substantially perpendicular to the plane of the pair of arms. The actuation button cooperates with the pair of arms to engage and disengage the razor cartridge.

A shaving system may include a handle, a skin-contacting surface coupled to the handle, one or more blades coupled to the skin-contacting surface, and one or more sensors configured to record sounds generated during use of the shaving system.

A razor cartridge includes: a blade housing accommodating a plurality of blades including at least a first blade and a second blade; a first contact member arranged at a front side of the plurality of blades with respect to a shaving direction; and a second contact member arranged at a rear side of the plurality of blades with respect to the shaving direction, each blade including an edge portion and a base, wherein a thickness of a first position of the edge portion of the first blade is less than a thickness of a corresponding second position of the edge portion of the second blade, and wherein a first exposure amount of the first blade with respect to a contact plane defined between the first contact member and the second contact member is less than a second exposure amount of the second blade with respect to the contact plane.

A grooming device. The grooming device includes a handle having proximal and distal ends, an implement connecting structure, grooming implement, displacement sensor, and power source providing power to the displacement sensor. The implement connecting structure is pivotably connected to the proximal end of the handle about a first handle axis and has a connection element and an eject element that is moveable within the implement connecting structure along a second handle axis. The implement connecting structure also has a location element pivotably connected to the eject element such that as the implement connecting structure moves about the first handle axis the location element remains stationary relative to the handle and as the eject element moves along the second handle axis the location element is displaced relative to the handle and the displacement sensor detects displacement of the location element. The grooming implement is connected to the implement connecting structure.
