Abstract: A system and a method for adaptively releasing a lubricant or a cosmetic for a razor cartridge, a sensing unit detects a property of at least one of skin, air, water and a chemical agent in a region adjacent to the razor cartridge. A smart polymer provided on the razor cartridge is selectively responsive to a characteristic external stimulus by undergoing a physical or chemical change. A processing unit controls the release of the lubricant or the cosmetic by providing the characteristic external stimulus to cause the smart polymer to undergo a change. The processing unit compares the detected property to a reference threshold parameter and determines whether to provide the characteristic external stimulus to the smart polymer based on the comparison, thereby generating the lubricant or the cosmetic. The determined level of depletion of the smart polymer is indicated by a light, aural, or haptic indication.
