摘要： A system and a method for adaptively releasing a lubricant or a cosmetic for a razor cartridge, a sensing unit detects a property of at least one of skin, air, water and a chemical agent in a region adjacent to the razor cartridge. A smart polymer provided on the razor cartridge is selectively responsive to a characteristic external stimulus by undergoing a physical or chemical change. A processing unit controls the release of the lubricant or the cosmetic by providing the characteristic external stimulus to cause the smart polymer to undergo a change. The processing unit compares the detected property to a reference threshold parameter and determines whether to provide the characteristic external stimulus to the smart polymer based on the comparison, thereby generating the lubricant or the cosmetic. The determined level of depletion of the smart polymer is indicated by a light, aural, or haptic indication.

摘要： A shaving razor has a cartridge containing one or more blades. A base unit supports the shaving razor and has one or more sensors, a processor, and circuitry configured to determine accumulation of debris in the cartridge and/or wear of the blades. The base unit directly, or indirectly via a handheld personal computer, provides a visual or aural alert to the user regarding the accumulation of debris in the cartridge and/or wear of the blades.

摘要： The present disclosure provides a smart shaving system with a 3D camera to assist the user of a shaving razor, which 3D camera is communicatively connected to the shaving razor and to a razor cartridge vendor platform via an Internet-of-Things (IoT) gateway. The 3D camera can be incorporated into the shaving razor, which razor has hardware/software capabilities to function as a N stand-alone Internet-of-Things (IoT) device. The 3D camera can be communicatively connected to the shaving razor and/or to a razor cartridge vendor platform via an Internet-of-Things (IoT) gateway to (i) assist the user to determine whether a particular skin surface area has been adequately shaved, and/or (ii) assist the user regarding the type of shaving cartridge and/or razor suited for the particular user's physical characteristics (e.g., skin and/or hair).

摘要： A razor cartridge comprising a housing extending along a longitudinal axis. The housing comprises a leading longitudinal side and a trailing longitudinal side. A cutting member mounting portion provided in between the leading longitudinal side and the trailing longitudinal side. Three or more substantially parallel cutting members are disposed in the cutting member mounting portion in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge. At least one of the three or more cutting members comprises a blade support. The blade support comprises a blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane. A blade attached to the blade mounting portion. The cutting members are disposed to define a plurality of inter-blade spans between cutting edges of the blades. The trailing longitudinal side of the housing does not comprise a skin care element.

摘要： A shaving system including a shaver handle and one or more sensors. The one or more sensors may be configured to detect a hand of a user on the handle and to generate one or more sensor signals. The system may also include a processor operably coupled to the one or more sensors and having at least one algorithm stored thereon for analyzing the one or more sensor signals to determine a grip of the user's hand on the handle. They system may further include an indicator operably coupled to the processor, and the indicator may be configured to provide at least one of feedback or a recommendation to the user based at least in part on the grip of the user during a shaving session.
