b. from about 5% to about 15%, by weight of the skin engaging shaving aid member, of a thermally resilient sensate, the thermally resilient sensate comprising N-[4-(cyanomethyl)phenyl]-(1R,2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanecarboxamide of formula: and c. from about 15% to about 35%, by weight of the skin engaging shaving aid member, of a water insoluble polymer. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The skin engaging shaving aid member of claim 1, further comprising an optional cooling agent selected from the group consisting of: L-menthol; p-menthane-3,8-diol; Isopulegol; Menthoxypropane-1,2,-diol; Curcumin; Menthyl Lactate; Gingerol; Icilin; Tea Tree Oil; Methyl Salicylate; Camphor; Peppermint Oil; N-Ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide; Ethyl 3-(p-menthane-3-carboxamido)acetate; 2-Isopropyl-N,2,3-trimethylbutyramide; Menthone glycerol ketal, Menthone Glyerine Acetal; and mixtures thereof. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The skin engaging shaving aid member of claim 2, wherein said optional cooling agent is a mixture of L-menthol and menthyl lactate in a ratio of weight in the range of 1:4 to 4:1. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The skin engaging shaving aid member of claim 1, further comprising an encapsulated active present at a level of from about 0.01% to about 50% by weight of the skin engaging shaving aid member. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The skin engaging shaving aid member of claim 1, wherein the water soluble polymer comprises at least one of: a polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyacrylamide, polyhydroxymethacrylate, polyvinyl imidazoline, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyhydroxyethymethacrylate, and silicone polymer. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The skin engaging shaving aid member of claim 1, wherein said water insoluble polymer comprises at least one of: polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, high impact polystyrene, butadiene styrene copolymer, polyacetal, acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene copolymer, and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The skin engaging shaving aid member of claim 1, wherein said matrix further comprises a block polymer selected from the group consisting of: a di-block copolymer, a tri-block copolymer, a multi-block copolymer, a radial block copolymer, a random block copolymer, and mixtures thereof. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The skin engaging member of claim 1, wherein said water soluble polymer comprises polyethylene oxide. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A shaving device comprising: a. a cartridge; b. one or more elongated edges positioned on said cartridge; and c. the skin engaging shaving aid member of claim 1 positioned on said cartridge.
