Abstract
The present invention is related to a shaving implement that includes at least a razor cartridge and a mechanism. The razor cartridge includes at least one blade that has a sharpened cutting edge and defines a blade plane. The mechanism is disposed in the shaving plane and moves the blade in the blade plane during shaving. The mechanism may be either a vibration mechanism (i.e., a motorized spinning eccentric weight), or a dithering mechanism (i.e., a piezoelectric element). The cut force required to shave, when the blades are moving in the blade plane, is significantly reduced.
