Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a coating on a blade for a shaver, the method comprising: a first step of evaporating a portion of a supply of a lubricating coating material in a negative pressure chamber, wherein the blade is positioned in the negative pressure chamber adjacent to the supply of the lubricating coating material such that the portion of the lubricating coating material evaporates from the supply and coats the blade; a second step, performed after the first step, of sintering the portion of the lubricating coating material coating the blade by heating the blade to a temperature above the melting temperature of the lubricating coating material; and a third step, performed after the second step, of cooling the blade after sintering to a room temperature.

Abstract: A hard coating for a substrate or portion of a razor blade wherein a main layer of the hard coating includes graphene and/or any combination of derivatives thereof. The graphene may be deposited on the substrate or portion of the razor blade using plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or similar process.

Abstract: A razor blade substrate having a substrate that includes a blade edge portion having a profiled geometry which is covered by a strengthening coating deposited on the razor blade substrate at least at the blade edge portion. The strengthening coating covering the blade edge tip, having a profiled geometry and having a tapering geometry with two coating sides converge toward a blade edge tip. The strengthening coating includes a strengthening layer made of a titanium- and boron-containing material.

Abstract: A razor blade comprising a blade substrate with a blade edge substrate portion ending in blade tip. The razor blade is covered by a strengthening coating deposited on the blade edge substrate portion via a deposition process. The deposition process causes a hardness value of the strengthening coating layer to be increased, which, among other factors, allows for a decreased thickness of the blade substrate with coating. The blade substrate with coating has (i) a thickness of between about 1.57 and 2.37 micrometers measured at a distance of about five micrometers from the coating tip, (ii) a thickness of between about 4.62 and 6.74 micrometers measured at a distance of about twenty micrometers from the coating tip, and (iii) a thickness of between about 19.82 and 27.52 micrometers measured at a distance of about one hundred micrometers from the coating tip.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electronic system including a web page authoring environment configured to generate web pages comprised of scrollable tiles. In one scenario, the web pages are accessible by mobile devices by registered customers who have obtained access to a QR code which links the mobile device to the web page. Each viewable web page tile represents a different item of information which a content sourcer wishes to present to customers who obtain a QR code linking them via a mobile device to the web page. The authoring environment allows for editing the web page by selectively updating the content of existing tiles on the web page, deleting old tiles, and/or adding new tiles.
