Shaving systems are disclosed which comprise a blade member and a skin engaging portion in proximity to the blade member, wherein the skin engaging portion includes a chelating agent capable of reducing the amount of insoluble metal salts in an aqueous liquid containing the insoluble metal salts, e.g., hard water. The chelating agent may be incorporated into a shaving aid strip or into another component of the shaving system, e.g., the leading edge or trailing edge of the shaving head. Alternatively, the chelating agent may be provided as a coating, optionally with water-sensitive polymers, to the skin engaging portion of the shaving system. |
