Abstract: A razor cartridge comprising a housing and at least two or more blades forming a blade shaving plane, and a skin engaging member, said member comprising a container having a base and at least one wall extending substantially vertically to a maximum height (h) of from 0.1 mm above the blade plane to 0.6 mm below the blade plane (P) and a skin contacting surface having a dispensing orifice, and a lubricating material contained within the container; comprising a polyethylene oxide polymer having an average molecular weight of from 0.5 million to 10 million. The polyethylene oxide polymer and maximum container wall height (h) are selected such that the relationship between said molecular weight of said polyethylene oxide polymer and said maximum height of said wall is represented by the area below the line according to the formula polyethylene oxide molecular weight (million)=10*h (mm)+7.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel application of liquid-infused surface materials (LISM) to at least a portion of one or more surfaces of razor components (e.g., frame, housing, clips, blade supports, blade body, blade edge, lubricating bodies, guard, handle, grip, button). If applied to a skin contacting surface of a component, the one or more LISM layers may generally be abrasion-resistant, long-lasting or non-erodible, desirably elevating shaving performance, such as glide, comfort, rinsing, and cleanliness, while also simplifying the manufacturing process.
