performance than is possible with fewer razor blades 22 and the diminishing exposure of each razor blade 22 in the aft direction provides improved comfort for the person shaving the decreasing rate of exposure from razor blade 22 to razor blade 22 also provides increased safety for those razor cutting edges positioned closer to the surface being shaved adjacent razor blades 22 within the four or more razor blades 22 of the present cartridge 16 are typically equally spaced apart from one another in some instances however it is desirable to utilize non uniform interblade spacing for example fig6 e diagrammatically shows four razor blades 22 spaced apart from one another by distances u201c u v and w u201d where u gt v gt w the decreased interblade spacing provides greater comfort and at the same time the four or more razor blades 22 of the present cartridge provide increased performance as stated above in some instances it may also be desirable to skew the angle between adjacent blades so that the adjacent blades 22 are not widthwise parallel to one another but rather diverge from one another traveling in the widthwise direction away from the cutting edge 24 the diverging blades 22 facilitate the removal of debris generated during the shaving process the four or more razor blades 22 of the present cartridge are typically made of the same material and each.
