Abstract: A shaving implement including a platform portion, a back portion, a cap portion overlying the platform portion, end walls interconnecting the platform and cap portions, the platform, back, cap and end wall portions being an integrally molded plastic unit, and a blade member permanently disposed between the cap and platform portions, the cap portion exercizing a clamping pressure on the blade member.

Abstract: A razor handle comprising a grip portion, a neck portion, a connector at a free end of the neck portion for connecting a shaving unit to the handle, and a pusher member molded integrally with the handle and movable in response to pressure applied thereon by an operator to cause a free end of the pusher member to bear against a shaving unit disposed on the connector to dislodge the shaving unit from the connector.

Abstract: A razor blade assembly including a body member, a guard member fixed to the body member, a blade member mounted on the body member for movement thereon, the blade member being independently movable in response to forces encountered during a shaving operation, spring finger biasing members integral with the body member and exercising a bias against the blade member, and a cap portion fixed to the body member.

Abstract: A razor handle comprising an elongated grip portion, a neck portion extending from one end of the grip portion and disposed at an angle to the grip portion, and a protrusion extending from an end of the neck portion remote from the grip portion, the protrusion having opposed planar surfaces extending from a free end of the protrusion at which the surfaces are closest to each other to a base portion of the protrusion at which the surfaces are farthest apart, wedge-shaped end walls interconnecting the surfaces, a connecting web joining the protrusion to the neck portion and being of reduced thickness to provide a recess between the neck portion and the protrusion, the neck and grip portions, web, and protrusion being a unitary molding.

Abstract: A razor handle comprising an elongated grip portion, a neck portion extending from one end of the grip portion and disposed at an angle to the grip portion, a protrusion extending from an end of the neck portion remote from the grip portion, a connecting web joining the protrusion to the neck portion and being of reduced thickness to provide a recess between the neck portion and the protrusion and a plunger disposed in the neck portion, a first end of the plunger being accessible from the grip portion and a second end of the plunger being proximate the remote end of the neck portion, the plunger being movable in the bore.

Abstract: A shaving cartridge assembly comprising a platform portion, a cap portion, blade means disposed between the cap and platform portions, and a housing portion having an opening at one end thereof, the housing portion being adapted to receive a handle member substantially axially of the housing for connecting the assembly to the handle.

Abstract: A shaving implement including a platform member, a cap member, and blade means disposed therebetween, the cap member including a series of forwardly extending fingers separated by recesses, the fingers having a first skin-engaging point thereon, and the recesses being defined in part by a cap member wall comprising a second skin-engaging point, the blade means comprising first and second blades each having a blade tangent angle in the range of 20.degree. to 32.degree. and a span in the range of 0.030 tp 0.080 inch, the first blade having an exposure of 0.0015.+-.0.0015 inch, and the second blade having alternating first and second exposures along its length, the first exposure being determined by a first tangent line extending from the first cutting edge to the first skin-engaging point, and the second exposure being determined by a second tangent line extending from the first cutting edge to the second skin-engaging point.
