Abstract (en)
Wet shaving systems having a flexible blade housing which is linked to a support by a linkage (40) comprising a plurality of links which actively flex the blade (20), i.e., cause portions of the blade edge to move upwardly in response to shaving forces exerted downwardly on other portions of blade. This shaving system redistributes shaving forces along the cutting edge (22) of the blade. In illustrated embodiments, the blade housing is linked to a razor by two four-bar linkages which are either overlapping or separate. <IMAGE>
