Abstract
Shaving systems having a first support, at least one, and preferably a plurality, of resilient supports, and a plurality of skin-engaging elements movably arranged in spaced relation and supported by the resilient support. The resilient supports normally maintain the movable skin-engaging elements, e.g. blades, guards, and/or cap member, in spaced relation such that the movable, skin-engaging elements are spaced by a first distance, relative to each other, when the skin-engaging elements are in a normal, unbiased position. In one embodiment, when one or more of the skin-engaging elements is acted upon by forces normally encountered during shaving, the resilient supports yield in order to move each of the blades and the cap into a more aggressive position.
