Abstract
A razor head that includes a housing having a top face defining a shaving window delimited by a front guard and a rear cap together defining a tangent plane, at least one rigid cutting member, each freely mounted in the housing, and having a cutting edge portion extending along a cutting edge portion axis, and having a cutting edge accessible through the shaving window, a guided portion extending along a guided portion axis, and a bent portion intermediate the cutting edge portion and the guided portion. An angle measured between the cutting edge axis and the tangent plane is between 5° and 30°.

A razor head comprising:
- a housing having a top face defining a shaving window delimited by a front guard and a rear cap, together defining a tangent plane,
- at least one rigid cutting member each movably mounted in a blade-receiving section of the housing, and having:
- a cutting edge portion extending along a cutting edge portion axis, and having a cutting edge accessible through the shaving window,
- a guided portion extending along a guided portion axis, and
- a bent portion intermediate the cutting edge portion and the guided portion,
- wherein each cutting member is an integrally formed rigid blade comprising the cutting edge portion, the guided portion extending along the guided portion axis, and the bent portion intermediate the cutting edge portion and the guided portion,
- wherein an angle measured between the cutting edge axis and the tangent plane is between approximately 12° and 18°,
- wherein the housing has a guide, wherein the cutting members are guided for movement in the guide from a nominal position achieved when not shaving, wherein the angle measured between the cutting edge axis and the tangent plane is measured in the nominal position.
A razor head comprising:
- a housing having a top face defining a shaving window delimited by a front guard and a rear cap, together defining a tangent plane,
- at least one rigid cutting member each movably mounted in a blade-receiving section of the housing, and having:
- a cutting edge portion coupled with a holder portion, the cutting edge portion extending along a cutting edge portion axis, and having a cutting edge accessible through the shaving window,
- a guided portion extending along a guided portion axis, and
- a bent portion intermediate the cutting edge portion and the guided portion,
- wherein each cutting member comprises a blade which defines the cutting edge portion, and a blade support, the blade support comprising the guided portion, the bent portion, and the holder portion,
- wherein an angle measured between the cutting edge axis and the tangent plane is between 5° and 18°,
- wherein the housing has a guide, wherein the cutting members are guided for movement in the guide from a nominal position achieved when not shaving, wherein the angle measured between the cutting edge axis and the tangent plane is measured in the nominal position.
