Razor heads and shaving systems are disclosed which comprise multiple blades and/or multiple skin-engaging elements which are supported to provide those elements with composite motion in response to forces encountered during shaving, i.e. those elements move along non-parallel paths. In one embodiment, a razor head comprises a base, a guard element and a blade package movably supported for movement relative to said guard element. A movable support for the blade package comprises a first resilient portion extending generally forwardly from the base toward the guard element and a second resilient portion extending generally upwardly from a forward portion of the first resilient portion toward the blade package.

Razor head with moveable blade package

A shaving assembly for simultaneously applying a shaving preparation and removing hair in a single step includes a base having an upper end, a lower end and a hollow space between the upper and lower ends, whereby the hollow space defines an opening at the upper end of the base. The shaving assembly includes a receiver for a razor, such as a cartridge receiver for a razor blade cartridge, that is connected with the base and that is disposed at the opening at the upper end of the base. The cartridge receiver has a perimeter and the opening at the upper end of the base completely surrounds the perimeter of the cartridge receiver. The hollow space of the base is adapted for containing a shaving preparation, such as a soap cake, a liquid soap, shaving cream or a body wash and may be combined with skin beneficial ingredients and/or scent. In one embodiment, the body of the shaving assembly includes an adjusting element so that an adequate supply of the shaving preparation may be supplied completely around the perimeter of the cartridge receiver. In other embodiments, the shaving assembly includes a resilient element for urging the shaving preparation toward the upper end of the body. The cartridge receiver may also be movable for changing the position of the razor blade relative to the shaving preparation. The shaving assembly may also include a razor embedded in a mass of shaving preparation so that the cutting blades of the razor lie in substantially the same plane as the top surface of the shaving preparation.

Wet shaving assembly

Shaving preparation for wet shaving assembly

A shaving assembly operable in dry shaving environments and wet shaving environments is provided that includes a razor assembly and a shaving preparation cake. The razor assembly, which includes a razor cartridge attached to a handle, is operable in dry shaving environments and wet shaving environments. The shaving preparation cake includes an upper surface, a lower surface, one or more side surfaces extending between the upper surface and the lower surface, and an axial bore extending between the upper surface and the lower surface. The shaving preparation cake is operable in a wet shaving environment, and is selectively attachable to the razor assembly for wet shaving environment applications. When the shaving preparation cake is attached to the razor assembly, the razor cartridge is disposed within the axial bore of the shaving preparation cake. The shaving preparation cake is selectively detachable from the razor assembly to facilitate use of the razor assembly in dry shaving environment applications.

A shaving system which comprises a razor, a razor head and a mechanism for vibrating one or more skin-engaging elements at a frequency ranging from about 15,000 hertz to about 2,000,000 hertz.

High frequency wet/dry shaving system

Shaving aids are disclosed comprising at least one active ingredient which provides a physiological cooling effect.
