A trimming assembly for dreadlocks comprises a handle. A cutting head is operatively connected to the handle. The cutting head comprises a cutting head body defining a receptacle at a radial end thereof. The receptacle is structured to receive a dreadlock. A blade protector is positioned axially within the receptacle. A curvature of the blade protector corresponds to a curvature of an inner wall of the receptacle. A blade is interposed between the blade protector and the inner wall. The blade defines a cutting edge at an axial end thereof proximate to the handle. The cutting edge is structured to cut loose hair protruding outwards from the dreadlock as the cutting head is moved along the dreadlock.

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.

A shaving apparatus including a handle and a cartridge connected to an upper end of the handle is provided. The cartridge includes at least two sub-cartridges connected to each other in a rigid connection or a detachable connection. Each of the sub-cartridges includes one or more blades extending outwardly at an acute angle relative to a face of the sub-cartridge and projecting generally away from a central longitudinal axis of the cartridge. The blades of a first of the two sub-cartridges are parallel to the blades of a second of the two sub-cartridges and positioned in a direction that opposes a direction of the blades of the second of the two sub-cartridges.

A shaving blade assembly is provided. The shaving blade assembly comprises a blade, one or more blade retainers, a first resilient element pressing the blade against the blade retainer in a first direction along a first axis that is orthogonal to a cutting edge of the blade, and a first rack-and-pinion mechanism with a rack operationally coupled to the first resilient element and a pinion for actuating a motion of the rack along the first axis.

A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a front portion with a front face and an upper skin contacting surface. At least one blade is mounted to the housing. The blade has a cutting edge extending toward the front portion. The upper skin contacting surface defines a bifurcated channel having an opening at a first end toward the front face and a pair of openings at an opposing end to facilitate the flow of fluid.

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 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.

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 shaving cartridge includes a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front edge, a rear edge, and a pair of side edges extending between the front edge and the rear edge. The housing includes at least one blade having a cutting edge and being disposed between the front edge and the rear edge, and a pair of retainers each having a top portion, a bottom portion, and a portion connecting the top portion to the bottom portion. The retainers extend along the pair of side edges between the front edge of the housing and the rear edge of the housing.
