 main supporting structure of the razor cartridge. The blades are often retained on the blade platform by the passing of plastic pins through holes in the blades and then passing the pins into a heading which forms part of the cap. In this manner, the cap holds the blade or blades in place. The cap typically is pinned, fused, cemented or otherwise bonded together with the blade seat structure and captivates the blade or blades, and any spacers between them.
To provide even greater shaving efficacy and comfort, many current razor designs also contain small ribbed strips that run the length of the shaver head, parallel to the cutting blade or blades, intended to first engage or “grab” the hair before it is cut by the first and successive cutting blades. This ribbed strip, whose ribs are sometimes referred to as “microfins” or “fingers,” is generally located at the leading edge of the razor head, in a position forward of or ahead of the first cutting blade. It is the first element or member on the shaver head to engage the individual's skin surface in a shaving stroke.
In addition to the ribbed skin-engaging strip, an additional shaving-aid strip has often been affixed to the working plane of the razor in close proximity to the working edges of the blades—often at the trailing edge of the razor head, located rearwardly, behind or after the last cutting blade in the multiple blade razor design. It is the often last element or member on the shaver head to engage the individual's skin surface in a shaving stroke. This solid water-soluble shaving-aid strip, or “glide” strip as it is sometimes called, contains a lubricant, whisker softener, razor cleaner, medicinal agent, cosmetic agent or a combination of the above as part of the razor head. The shaving-aid strip may be a shave-aiding agent combined with a solid, water-soluble micro-encapsulating or micro-porous structure which retains the agent. The strip can be the agent itself when it is a water-soluble solid.
Together, the razor head's platform, guard structure, blade edges, cap, skin-engaging microfins and the lubricating glide strip all cooperate with the skin to define shaving geometry and efficacy and are intended to give the individual a safe, close and comfortable shave.

 In addition to the ribbed skin - engage strip, an additional shaving - care strip has much been affixed to the working airplane of the razor in close proximity to the working edges of the blades — often at the drag edge of the razor point, located rearwardly, behind or after the concluding cutting sword in the multiple blade razor design. It is the often final component or member on the child head to engage the individual's skin airfoil in a shave stroke.
