  • Publication number: 20180065263
    Abstract: An integrally formed rigid razor blade has, in cross-section transverse to a longitudinal axis, a cutting edge portion, a base portion, and a bent portion. The cutting edge portion extends along a cutting edge portion axis and has a cutting edge at one end. The base portion extends along a base portion axis and has a rear edge at one end. The bent portion is intermediate the cutting edge portion and the base portion. The rear edge of the base portion is serrated along the longitudinal axis. The serrations have a height of between 0.13 millimeters and 0.32 millimeters.

  • Patent number: 9895817
    Abstract: A shaver that includes a handle with an elongated handgrip portion and a mounting portion, and a shaver head attached to the mounting portion. A removable cartridge is attached to the shaver head through a rotating lock. The rotating lock is adapted to rotate about an axis parallel to the length of the blades of the cartridge, thus defining a neutral position and a rotated position. The rotating lock in the neutral position attaches the cartridge to the shaver head, and the rotating lock in the rotated position releases the cartridge from the shaver head.

  • Publication number: 20180009123
    Abstract: A razor head includes a housing and at least one integrally formed rigid razor blade. The housing has a top face defining a shaving window and an opposed stopping face. The razor blades are freely mounted in the housing and have a cutting edge portion and a guided portion. A bent portion is intermediate the cutting edge portion and the guided portion. A cantilever dimension, measured as the distance between the cutting edge and a guided portion axis, is between 1.1 millimeters and 1.8 millimeters. The guided portion cooperates with a guide so that each blade is independently translatable with respect to the housing along a sliding direction parallel to the guided portion axis under the effect of shaving forces applied to the blade during shaving.
