Claims
- 1. A multi-layered comfort strip secured to a razor body, said multi-layered comfort strip comprising:
a first layer having a first material composition, said first material composition having a first thermal expansion coefficient; a second layer mated to said first layer, said second layer having a second material composition and being secured to said razor body, said second material composition having a second thermal expansion coefficient; and said second thermal expansion coefficient more closely matches a thermal expansion coefficient of said razor body than does said first thermal expansion coefficient.
- 2. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 1, wherein:
said first material composition includes a first concentration of a shaving aid; said second material composition includes a second concentration of said shaving aid which is less than said first concentration of said shaving aid.
- 3. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 2, wherein:
said shaving aid includes one of a cream, an oil and a soap.
- 4. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 1, wherein:
said second layer is more rigid than said first layer.
- 5. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 1, wherein:
said multi-layered comfort strip is secured to a head portion of said razor body, said head portion supporting a blade of said razor; and said multi-layered comfort strip is secured adjacent to said blade.
- 6. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 1, wherein:
said multi-layered comfort strip is secured to a cartridge of said razor body, said cartridge supporting a blade of said razor; and said multi-layered comfort strip is secured adjacent to said blade.
- 7. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 5, wherein:
said multi-layered comfort strip is secured to said head portion by an adhesive.
- 8. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 5, wherein:
said multi-layered comfort strip is secured a channel formed in said head portion.
- 9. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 8, wherein:
said channel includes substantially perpendicular opposing side walls.
- 10. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 8, wherein:
said channel includes angled opposing side walls.
- 11. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 5, wherein:
said multi-layered comfort strip is secured in a raised channel formed in said head portion.
- 12. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 8, wherein:
said second layer is substantially disposed within said channel; and said first layer is substantially disposed outside of said channel.
- 13. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 1, wherein:
said first layer and said second layer are coextruded.
- 14. The multi-layered comfort strip according to claim 1, wherein:
said first layer and said second layer have contrasting colorations.
- 15. A method for providing a comfort strip to a razor, said method comprising the steps of:
forming a first layer of material having a first thermal expansion coefficient; forming a second layer of material that incorporates a filler, said second layer having a second thermal expansion coefficient; wherein said second thermal expansion coefficient more closely matches a thermal expansion coefficient of said razor than does said first thermal expansion coefficient; mating said base layer to said lubricating layer; and securing said base layer to a portion of said razor.
- 16. The method for providing a comfort strip to a razor according to claim 15, said method further comprising the steps of:
including a first predetermined amount of shaving aids in said first layer of material; including a second predetermined amount of said shaving aids in said second layer; and ensuring that said second predetermined amount of said shaving aids is less than said first predetermined amount of said shaving aids.
- 17. The method for providing a comfort strip to a razor according to claim 16, said method further comprising the steps of:
utilizing an adhesive to secure said second layer to said razor.
- 18. The method for providing a comfort strip to a razor according to claim 17, said method further comprising the steps of:
inserting said second layer into a channel formed in said razor.
- 19. The method for providing a comfort strip to a razor according to claim 15, said method further comprising the steps of:
forming said first layer and said second layer to have contrasting colorations.
- 20. The method for providing a comfort strip to a razor according to claim 15, said method further comprising the steps of:
ensuring that a predetermined thermal expansion coefficient of said filler more closely matches said thermal expansion coefficient of said razor than does said first thermal expansion coefficient.
- 21. A multi-layered comfort strip secured to a razor body, said multi-layered comfort strip comprising:
a first layer; a second layer mated to said first layer, said second layer being secured to said razor body; and wherein a first material composition of said first layer differs from a second material composition of said second layer.
