A razor is provided, including a handle to be gripped by a user, a power generation unit disposed in the handle and configured to provide rotational power, a drive transmission unit coupled to the power generation unit and configured to be rotated by the rotational power, a cartridge including a blade housing on which one or more blades are seated, and a drive receiving unit formed at one side of the cartridge and configured to be in contact with the drive transmission unit to cause the blade housing to perform a linear movement in response to rotation of the drive transmission unit, wherein the cartridge is coupled to the handle such that the cartridge is pivotable about a pivot axis perpendicular to a rotational axis of the power generation unit, and wherein the pivot axis intersects the drive transmission unit.

A shaving device comprising a head assembly including a support member having at least one support member magnet and a blade cartridge having at least one face with at least one razor blade and configured to be rotatably coupled to the support member about a pivot axis. The blade cartridge includes at least one blade cartridge magnet having a pole aligned with a pole of the support member magnet to generate a magnetic force that urges the blade cartridge about the pivot axis towards an initial starting position (ISP), wherein the blade cartridge is further configured to rotate about the pivot axis away from the ISP upon application of an external force sufficient to overcome the magnetic force between the support member magnet and the blade cartridge magnet.

A razor cartridge, a razor blade, and a process of producing a razor cartridge and razor blade is provided including at least one blade positioned between the guard and the cap where the visible surface of the at least one razor blade includes a printed object wherein the printed object has a height dimension of from about 0.04 mm to about 0.60 mm. The printed object may extend continuously along the length of the razor blade and/or may have multiple portions having a comb-like structure. The printed object appears as a solid object to a viewer's naked eye. The solid object includes a plurality of printed ink dots not visible to the viewer's naked eye. The printed object of flexible, polymer ink may act as a guard element on the razor blade which helps with glide and to manage a user's skin (e.g., bulge) during shaving.

A shaving aid for razor cartridges comprising water soluble filaments having nano-sized diameters and exhibiting lubricating properties and with improved visual and tactile aesthetics, wherein said nano-filament has a core and a sheath.

A shaving aid for razor cartridges comprising water soluble filaments having nano-sized diameters and exhibiting lubricating properties and with improved visual and tactile aesthetics.

A razor blade head for shaving, comprising a razor blade element, a bracket mounted to the razor blade element and a manual control element configured to enable a user to apply force from a side of the bracket opposite to the razor blade element, the force transferred from the manual control element to the razor blade element via the bracket, wherein the bracket is configured to define an opening between the manual control element and the razor blade element.

A shaving cartridge with a housing having a primary guard and a secondary cap. A bridge member is integrally molded with the housing. The bridge member has a plurality of spaced apart parallel ribs. The plurality of spaced part ribs define a primary cap surface and a secondary guard surface. A first blade having a cutting edge is mounted to the housing between the primary guard and the primary cap surface. A second blade having a cutting edge extending in a same direction as the cutting edge of the first blade is mounted to the housing between the secondary guard surface and the secondary cap. The cutting edge of the first blade and the cutting edge of the second blade define an interblade span greater than 3.0 mm. The plurality of spaced apart parallel ribs define a plurality of rinse openings extending thru the bridge member.

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.

A hair cutting scissors/razor device, including a static blade member and a dynamic blade member, operatively arranged to pivot relative to one another, the static blade member having a blade portion, the blade portion having a tip at a first end and a handle portion at a second end, wherein the blade portion has a cutting edge and a back edge and the handle portion has a static neck portion and a static finger ring, the static blade member also having an aperture to accommodate a tension screw, the aperture located between the first end and the second end, and closer to the first end than the second end, the blade portion having a slot therein, the slot closed proximate the tip portion, the slot arranged parallel to the cutting edge of the static blade member, the slot arranged to extend leftwardly and rightwardly of the aperture.

A shaving head that doubles as breaking mechanism to break a safety razor blade into two pieces to form a 2-blade shaving razor. The shaving head includes a front component having a retention guide, a first position stop and a second position stop at a distance offset from the first position stop. The shaving head further includes a back component having a blade slot configured to receive a first blade portion and a second blade portion formed from breaking a double-edge safety razor blade such that the first blade portion has a different width compared to the second blade portion. The retention guide is configured to retain the first blade portion and the second blade portion in the blade slot responsive to the retention guide being at least partially inserted into the blade slot. The sharp shaving edges once installed form a shaving angle between 5 and 30 degrees, where the shaving angle is determined by where the blade is broken.
