Abstract: In one aspect, the invention features, in general, a shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a primary guard at a front of the housing, a secondary cap at a rear of the housing and at least one spring member positioned between the primary guard and the secondary cap. A bridge member is positioned between the primary guard and the secondary cap. The bridge member has a primary cap surface and a secondary guard surface. A first blade having a cutting edge is mounted to at least one of the spring members between the primary guard and the primary cap surface. A second blade having a cutting edge is mounted to at least one of the spring members between the secondary guard surface and the secondary cap. The bridge member is mounted on a plurality of the spring members.

Abstract: A shaving cartridge with a housing, having a primary guard at a front of the housing and a secondary cap at a rear of the housing. A bridge member having a primary cap surface and a secondary guard surface is positioned between the primary guard and the secondary cap. A first blade has a cutting edge. The first blade is mounted to the housing between the primary guard and the primary cap surface. A second blade having a cutting edge extending in the same direction as the cutting edge of the first blade is mounted to the housing between the secondary guard surface and the secondary cap. A width of the bridge member is greater than 50% of an interblade span between the cutting edge of the first blade and the cutting edge of the second blade and the interblade span is greater than 3 mm.

Abstract: A shaving razor with a handle and a housing, the housing dimensioned to receive at least one blade. The housing has a pair of spaced apart opposing parallel walls each defining a fully enclosed opening that extends completely through the respective walls. The handle includes a pair of semi-circular pin members that are disposed in the openings to mount the housing to the handle while allowing rinse water to travel through the openings to access the at least one blade.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a handle for a personal grooming device includes forming a substrate portion of a first material. The substrate portion has first and second walls forming a channel extending along a long axis of the substrate portion. An insert member is formed separate from the substrate portion and disposed within the channel. A grip portion of a second material is formed on the substrate portion. The second material substantially encases the insert member.

Abstract: A shaving razor adapter used to attach a disposable shaving razor cartridge of a first shaving razor configuration to a shaving razor handle of a second shaving razor configuration. The shaving razor adapter includes a first attachment portion which resembles the connecting end of the shaving razor handle of the first shaving razor configuration. The first attachment portion attaches the adapter to the shaving razor cartridge of the first shaving razor configuration. The second attachment portion of the adapter resembles the connecting member of a shaving razor cartridge of a second shaving razor configuration that interfaces with the connecting end of the handle of the second shaving razor configuration. The second attachment portion of the adapter releasably attaches the adapter to the connecting end of the shaving razor handle of the second shaving razor configuration.
