Abstract: The invention provides a razor cartridge with multiple blades and peg(s) or pegged support members that aid in the control of the blades by restricting fore and aft blade movement, which in turn, reduces the amplitude of blade deflection and/or vibration during shaving. This reduction provided by the pegs improves shaving performance. Blades rest between pegs which are rounded or shaped such that the blade bottom portion contacts the peg at one point, forming a single line of contact. The pegs may be in a slalom-like, linear (with one or more peg columns), or offset arrangement. Pegs or pegged support members may be at any location of the razor blade assembly; for instance, at the center and/or at blade slot ends. Pegs may each be of different shapes and may or may not be equidistant or at the same heights as each other, depending on blade spans and exposures.

Abstract: A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a guard at a front portion of the housing, a cap at a rear portion of the housing, a first blade support member positioned between the guard and the cap. The first blade support member has a first blade retention member spaced apart from a second blade retention member to define a first blade slot. The first blade support defines at least one rinse opening in communication with the first blade slot and extending completely through the housing.

Abstract: A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a guard toward a front of the housing and a cap toward a rear of the housing. The cap has a crest. A leading blade is mounted to housing nearest the guard and a trailing blade mounted to the housing nearest the cap. Each blade has a blade edge. The blades define a blade plane tangent to the edge of the leading blade and the edge of the trailing blade. The cap having a cap span from the edge of the trailing blade to the crest and a cap height from the crest to the blade plane. A ratio of the cap span to the cap height is about 25:1 to about 70:1.

Abstract: A shaving system has a cap, a skin-engaging member, at least one blade between the skin engaging member and the cap, and a guard bar between the skin engaging member and the blade. The guard bar has a first set of spaced apart projections offset from a second set of spaced apart projections in a first direction parallel to the blade and in a second direction transverse to the blade. The first set of projections and the second set of projections define a plurality of open channels extending transverse to the blade. The open channels have a width of about 0.20 mm to about 0.50 mm.

Abstract: A handle for a razor, the handle having a fixed portion including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and a rotatable portion coupled to the second end. The rotatable portion is configured to rotate relative to the fixed portion. The rotatable portion includes a first material and a second material such that the first material is different from the second material.

Abstract: A razor including a shaving cartridge having a pivotal frame with a lower surface and an upper skin contacting surface having a guard and a cap. A blade unit is moveably secured to the pivotal frame. The blade unit carries one or more blades and has a camming surface. An interconnect member having a pivotal support structure pivotally supports the pivotal frame for pivoting about a pivot axis. A handle is secured to the interconnect member. A biasing member has a cam follower surface that extends from the interconnect member to act on the camming surface to bias the blade unit. The blade unit moves within the pivotal frame between a first position and a second position. In the first position the blade unit is nearest the lower surface of the pivotal frame and in the second position the blade unit is nearest the upper surface of the pivotal frame.

Abstract: A razor including a replaceable shaving cartridge. The replaceable shaving cartridge includes a pivotal frame, a blade unit moveably secured to the pivotal frame and an interconnect member. The blade unit includes one or more blades and has a camming surface. The interconnect member has a pivotal support structure that pivotally supports the pivotal frame for pivoting about a pivot axis. A biasing member that has a cam follower surface extends from the interconnect member to act on the camming surface to bias the blade unit. A handle is releasably secured to the interconnect member.

Abstract: A safety razor blade unit is provided. The safety razor blade unit includes at least one elongate blade and a shaving aid member. The shaving aid member extends longitudinally of the blade(s) and has a skin contacting surface exposed for contact with a skin of a user during shaving. The shaving aid member includes a multiplicity of pockets. Each of the pockets open at the skin contacting surface and are defined by side wall portions depending inward from the skin contacting surface.
