A method of manufacturing a metallic cutting member, through electrodeposition, comprises moving a dispenser filled with a metal salt solution to a first printing position, depositing a metal onto a conductive or semi-conductive substrate via the dispenser until the deposited metal contacts the dispenser, and upon detecting that the deposited metal contacts the dispenser, moving the dispenser to a second printing position.

The present invention relates to a razor including a handle, a frame coupled to the handle, a spacer, a top cap, a first blade secured between the frame and the spacer, and a second blade secured between the spacer and the top cap, wherein the first blade is supported by a portion of a top surface of the frame and a portion of a bottom surface of the spacer such that a first profile of the first blade is convexly curved upward, and wherein the second blade is supported by a portion of a top surface of the spacer and a portion of a bottom surface of the top cap such that a second profile of the second blade comprises a curved central region that is convexly curved upward and a pair of curved side regions that are concavely curved downward on opposite sides of the central region.

The invention relates to a method of thinning a coating applied on a razor blade. The method comprises providing a thinning material having a Shore OO hardness in a range of 10-100, more specifically 20-70; contacting the thinning material with an edge of the razor blade, and moving the thinning material relative to the edge of the razor blade such that a shear force is applied on the edge of the razor blade thereby removing at least a portion of the coating applied on the edge of the razor blade.
