ABSTRACT:
A shaving implement, such as a disposable cartridge or razor, comprises a shaving head which includes a skin-contacting element, in the form of a plurality of sections of flexible ridges. The ridges in each section are oriented alternately at positive and negative angles relative to the blade, in a herringbone pattern, and define flow-through recesses. Preferably, a ridge from each section is joined together with a ridge from an adjoining section, to form a chevron-shaped node between sections. When shaving, adjacent sections push areas of the skin in different directions, while the flow-through channels retain a layer of lubricating material on the skin, so that the cartridge provides a smooth, comfortable shave.
