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 shaving aid for razor cartridges comprising water soluble filaments exhibiting lubricating properties and with improved visual and tactile aesthetics.

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 blade assembly and a method of using a shaving blade assembly may include a blade, a resilient element, and a first moveable member. The resilient element may support the blade and be arranged to urge the blade in a first direction orthogonal to a cutting edge of the blade. The first movable member may abut the blade in a second direction opposite to the first direction and be held in at least one position.

A razor cartridge comprising a housing extending along a longitudinal axis. The housing comprises a leading longitudinal side and a trailing longitudinal side. A cutting member mounting portion provided in between the leading longitudinal side and the trailing longitudinal side. Three or more substantially parallel cutting members are disposed in the cutting member mounting portion in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge. At least one of the three or more cutting members comprises a blade support. The blade support comprises a blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane. 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. The trailing longitudinal side of the housing does not comprise a skin care element.

A blade carrier assembly with a blade carrier having a blade platform at a first end. A tab extends from the blade platform to a second end. A blade is mounted to the blade platform. The blade a cutting edge. The tab has a crest configured to engage a handle. The crest is positioned between a pair of angled surfaces of the tab.

A precision shaving razor with low cost assembly. A bridge is unitarily molded having a leading platform, a handle attachment mechanism and first and a second cross member each molded to extend substantially perpendicularly to the leading platform. A plurality of base members is each unitarily molded to have a first peg and a second peg for attachment to the cross pieces. A plurality of blade covers each unitarily molded. A razor blade is sandwiched between each blade cover-base pair. In some instances, the blade covers are molded to have hard stops to facilitate precise blade position. In some cases, the bases define angular wash through channels and blade guards spaced to facilitate wash through. In some cases, the skin contacting surfaces of the razor are textured during molding to have a glide improving texture.

The present disclosed subject matter provides a razor blade head with finger slots, depressions (indentations) which extend into the razor blade head, for receiving human fingers, allowing for the razor blade head, typically attached to the handle of a razor, and therefore, the razor, to be manipulated with more precision, control, and force, than by using the handle alone.

A shaving blade assembly and a method of using a shaving blade assembly may include a blade, a first resilient element, and a first movable member. The first resilient element may support the blade and be arranged to urge the blade in a first direction substantially orthogonal to a cutting edge of the blade. The first movable member may selectively engage the first resilient element, in the first direction in at least one position, to impede deformation of the first resilient element.
