Abstract: A cutting member for a shaving razor includes (a) an elongated metal blade having a cutting edge, a blade end, a tapered portion near the blade end and a uniform thickness portion extending from the blade end to the tapered portion, and (b) a elongated bent metal support that has a platform portion, a bent portion and a base portion extending downward from the bent portion. The platform portion extends forward from the bent portion to a front end. The platform portion includes an attachment area that is spaced from the front end and the bent portion, and a flat portion that includes and extends beyond the attachment area. The uniform thickness portion of the blade is supported on the platform portion and secured thereto at the attachment area, the tapered portion extending forward beyond the front end of the platform portion.

Abstract: A cutting member for a shaving razor that includes an elongated metal blade and an elongated bent metal support that has an elongated platform portion, an elongated bent portion and an elongated base portion. The blade and platform portion of the blade support are sized to make them more compact at the same time that the platform portion is provided with a sufficiently flat area for reliably supporting the blade. The platform portion extends forward from the bent portion to a front end, and includes a weld area that is spaced from the front end and from the bent portion. The platform portion also includes a flat portion that includes and extends beyond the weld area. The elongated metal blade has a cutting edge at the front, a blade end at the rear, a tapered portion leading to the cutting edge and a uniform thickness portion extending from the blade end at the rear to the tapered portion.
