A razor cartridge is disclosed herein. An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a razor cartridge configured to be coupled to a razor handle and used, the razor cartridge including: at least one shaving blade having a cutting edge; a blade housing configured to accommodate the at least one shaving blade so that the at least one shaving blade is placed in a longitudinal direction, the blade housing including a top side to which the cutting edge is directed and a bottom side facing the top side; a support structure coupled to one side of the blade housing; and at least one first living hinge configured to connect at least a portion of the blade housing to at least a portion of the support structure.

The invention relates to a razor and a method for producing a razor. In order to provide an improved razor, a razor (1) has a handle (10), at one end of which a ball joint socket (11) is arranged, and a blade head (20) having at least one razor blade (21) and a ball joint head (22). The ball joint head of the blade head and the ball joint socket of the handle form a ball joint, and the handle has an alignment element (14) in the ball joint socket that is designed to engage with a recess (36) in the ball joint head.

An apparatus for testing a razor blade comprises a base, a material support table, a material sample, a transport carriage, a blade retention assembly, and a razor blade. The material support table is supported by the base. The transport carriage is movably coupled with the base and is movable with respect to the material support table between a start position and an end position. The blade retention assembly is movably coupled with the transport carriage and is movable with respect to the material support table between a blade-engaged position and a blade disengaged position. The blade retention assembly is movable together with the transport carriage between the start position and the end position. The blade is releasably attached to the blade retention assembly. The razor blade contacts the material sample when the blade retention assembly is in the blade-engaged position. Methods are also provided.

The present invention relates to an electrochemical device for releasing ions, comprising an electrical circuit comprising a first electrode and a second electrode adapted for providing a galvanic cell when the electrodes are exposed to a fluid constituting an electrolyte, and a boost converter adapted for amplifying a potential generated between the first and the second electrode. The electrical circuit further comprises a third electrode connected with an output side of the boost converter, wherein the second and the third electrode constitutes an electrolytic cell powered by the galvanic cell when the electrodes are exposed to a fluid. The present invention further relates to devices, such as a toothbrush or a shaver, adapted for being used in connection with a fluid, comprising such electrochemical device for releasing ions.

Replaceable shaving assemblies are disclosed that include a blade unit, an interface element configured to removably connect the blade unit to a handle, on which the blade unit is pivotably mounted, and an elastomeric element disposed between the blade unit and interface element. Shaving systems including such shaving assemblies are also disclosed, as are methods of using such shaving systems.

A coupling mechanism for a shaving device having a first connector coupled with a second connector defining a channel, the second connector including an engagement surface within the channel. A retainer positioned between the first connector and the second connector, and a plunger that transitions between a first position and a second position. The engagement surface of the second connector engages the retainer when the plunger is in the first position and the engagement surface of the second connector disengages the retainer when the plunger is in the second position.

A shaving blade cartridge and a shaver having such shaving blade cartridge including a housing extending longitudinally along a longitudinal axis. The housing includes a top side and a bottom side opposite to the top side, and front and rear longitudinal sides, each front and rear longitudinal sides extending longitudinally along the longitudinal axis between the top and bottom sides. A primary cutting element is mounted on the housing between the front and rear longitudinal sides. The primary cutting element includes a cutting edge facing forwardly toward the front longitudinal side. A primary cover is located rearward of the primary cutting element a primary guard is located forward of the primary cutting element and, trimming is mounted on the housing. The trimming element includes a trimming edge. The trimming element of the shaving blade cartridge is located forward of the primary cutting element, and the trimming edge faces toward direction opposite the front longitudinal side.

A shaving razor, including: a handle; a head pivotally attached to the handle, the head including a frame and a cover pivotally attached to the frame; and at least one locking feature positioned on the frame which fixes and releases the cover from the head, where the at least one locking feature is configured to move between at least two different positions, where in a first position the at least one locking feature engages with the cover to secure the cover to the frame and in a second position, the at least one locking feature is disengaged from the cover, the cover to rotatable away from the frame.

An adapter for coupling each of a razor handle and a razor cartridge together is provided. The adapter includes a cartridge engaging portion and a handle engaging portion.

An adapter for coupling each of a razor handle and a razor cartridge together is provided. The adapter includes a cartridge engaging portion and a handle engaging portion.
