A system for determining a level of debris accumulation in a region adjacent to at least one blade of a razor cartridge. The system includes a sensing unit to detect a measurement parameter which is one of an amount of light reflected from at least one area adjacent to the at least one blade, and an image of the at least one area adjacent to the at least one blade. A processing unit compares the detected measurement parameter to at least one reference threshold parameter and determines a level of debris accumulation in the at least one area adjacent to the at least one blade based on an amount of deviation of the detected measurement parameter from the at least one reference threshold parameter. Information regarding the determined level of debris accumulation is provided by at least one of a light indication, an aural indication, and a haptic indication.
