Abstract: A reduced cost interconnection for shaving razor cartridges. A base member is injection molded as a single continuous mass. The base member defines at least one void that may receive a mass increasing member. The base member has a handle portion integrally formed with a living hinge and an interconnection feature. The interconnection feature is biased to detachably engage a counterpart interconnection feature of a blade cartridge. Elastomeric reinforcement in over molded onto the base member to improve the structural integrity of the living hinge.

Abstract: A shaving razor having a cartridge containing a razor blade coupled to a monolithic yoke. The yoke is formed from a single piece of material possibly by injection molding. The yoke has a bridge and a pair of cross pieces each coupled to the bridge by a living hinge. The cartridge is coupled to the cross pieces and spans between the cross pieces.

Abstract: A shaving razor having a handle and a shaving head with an exposed reciprocating blade. A power source is disposed within the handle with an actuator that causes at least one blade of a multi-blade razor head to reciprocate within a zone of motion. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A shaving razor having integrally formed blade guards. A generally monolithic body is formed from a suitable material such as thermoplastic to define blade channels for a plurality of blades, 1 blade retained in each channel the cutting edges of which define a cutting plane. A plurality of blade guards is formed as part of the body such that the shaving plane passes through the blade guards with one blade guard forward of each blade in the cutting direction. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A shaving device that defines a substantially cylindrical volume to receive an index finger of a user. Rotation about the index finger under control of the adjacent thumb and middle finger provide precise finger-tip control of the pitch, angle and pressure applied the fixed or replaceable shaving blades.

Abstract: A shaving device that defines an arcuate outer surface to be engaged between a pair of digits. Manipulation between the digits provides precise finger-tip control of the pitch, angle and pressure applied the fixed or replaceable shaving blades.
