摘要:
This relates to an improved skin engaging member for use in razor blade; cartridge assemblies and shaving systems of the wet shave type. In an embodiment, there is provided a two-component, control-release shaving device consisting of(a) a sheath layer made from thermoplastic resins with openings therein and (b) a core region containing internal shaving aids. Potentially, the device can maintain surface appearance, control-release the shaving aids, minimize the degradation of the shaving aids, and prevent the shaving aids from being trapping in a strip. Furthermore, the addition of low-melt additives to the shaving aids becomes feasible and the compatibility between the shaving aids and the shaving aid carrier such as polystyrene in the lubricating strip composite becomes less critical.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a shaving system of the wet shave type comprising a blade member (one or more) and a structure which supports or holds the blade member and which has an external skin engaging portion in proximity to the blade member. The skin engaging portion includes an improved shaving aid composite which comprises a non-volatile cooling agent, such as a non-volatile menthol analog. Preferably the shaving aid composite comprises a matrix of a water-insoluble polymer and, dispersed within the matrix, a skin lubricating water-soluble polymer and a non-volatile cooling agent. Alternatively, the shaving aid composite may comprise a sheath of water-insoluble polymer that surrounds a core which includes a skin-lubricating water-soluble polymer and a non-volatile cooling agent. The improved shaving aid composite (or lubricating strip) is capable of retaining during normal storage conditions substantially all of the cooling agent included during fabrication of the composite and delivering an effective amount of the cooling agent during use.

The skin engaging portion includes an improved shaving aid composite (or lubricating strip) which contains an inclusion complex of a skin-soothing agent, such as menthol, with a cyclodextrin. Preferably the shaving aid composite comprises a matrix of a water-insoluble polymer, an effective amount of a skin lubricating water-soluble polymer dispersed within the matrix, and an inclusion complex of a skin-soothing agent with a cyclodextrin.
