A replaceable shaving assembly comprising:
- a blade unit which includes an elastomeric guard;
- a handle interface element configured to removably connect the blade unit to a handle, on which the blade unit is pivotably mounted, the handle interface element including a protrusion;
- and
- an elastomeric element disposed between the blade unit and the handle interface element, wherein the elastomeric element comprises at least one loop configured to receive the protrusion and the at least one loop is formed integrally with the guard.
A shaving system comprising:
- a handle having a distal end and a proximal end which includes an elastomeric guard;
- and
- a replaceable shaving assembly that includes a blade unit, a handle interface element configured to removably connect the blade unit to a handle, on which the blade unit is pivotably mounted , the handle interface element including a protrusion, and an elastomeric element disposed between the blade unit and the handle interface element wherein the elastomeric element comprises at least one loop configured to receive the protrusion and the at least one loop is formed integrally with the guard.
A method of shaving comprising contacting the skin with the blade unit which includes an elastomeric guard of a shaving system comprising a handle having a distal end and a proximal end, and a replaceable shaving assembly that includes a blade unit, an interface element configured to removably connect the blade unit to a handle, on which the blade unit is pivotably mounted, the handle interface element including a protrusion, and an elastomeric element disposed between the blade unit and interface element wherein the elastomeric element comprises at least one loop configured to receive the protrusion and the at least one loop is formed integrally with the guard.
