Abstract: Razors and components thereof are provided, as well as methods of making such.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aftershave composition comprising, by weight, 9% to 94%, preferably 15% to 85%, most preferably 25% to 55%, water, 5% to 90%, preferably 10% to 80%, most preferably 40% to 70%, ethanol, 0.25% to 6%, preferably 1% to 5%, fragrance, 0.25% to 5%, preferably 1% to 4%, surfactant to solubilize or emulsify the fragrance, and 0.05% to 1.5%, preferably 0.1% to 0.6%, phosphatidyl choline. Preferably, the composition will be a clear solution or microemulsion having a clarity better than 100 NTU and a viscosity less than 200 mPas. The foregoing composition provides skin moisturization and reduced irritation without other undesirable aesthetic attributes such as stickiness or oiliness. The present invention also embraces a method of reducing irritation of human skin caused by shaving comprising topically applying to human skin after shaving an aftershave composition as described above.

Abstract: The present invention provides an after shave composition comprising, by weight, 30 to 98%, preferably 65 to 95%, most preferably 70 to 90%, water, 0 to 65%, preferably 0 to 25%, most preferably 10 to 22%, ethanol, 0.25 to 6%, preferably 1 to 5%, fragrance, 0.25 to 5%, preferably 1 to 4%, surfactant to solubilize or emulsify the fragrance, and 0.5 to 1.5% (U.S.P.), preferably 0.8 to 1.3%, aluminum chlorohydrate. Preferably, the composition will be a clear solution or microemulsion having a clarity better than 100 NTU and a viscosity less than 200 mPas. The foregoing composition provides, upon application to the skin, reduced stinging and burning, reduced redness and irritation, and a soothing effect without tackiness or other undesirable aesthetic attributes.
