Abstract
The present invention is directed to a solid polymeric shaving aid strip for a razor cartridge. The shaving aid strip comprises a lubricious water-soluble polymer and a polycaprolactone, and optionally a water-insoluble polymer. It has been found that polycaprolactone improves the fabrication of the shaving aid strip, provides smoother strip surfaces and permits the inclusion of greater amounts of water-soluble polymer in the strip. It has also been found that a shaving aid strip which contains polycaprolactone releases more shaving aid during use and has better structural integrity and less swelling. The present invention is also directed to a razor cartridge which includes the aforementioned shaving aid strip.
