Abstract: A guide device for trimming a person's beard includes a rigid body having a mouth anchor aperture through a proximal side and an open distal side covered by an attachable body cover that includes a threaded aperture therethrough for receiving a threaded tightening knob. A mouth piece anchor is adapted for fixing with a mouth piece rotation plate within the body. A mouth piece has a proximal end adapted for gripping with the person's mouth, and a distal end adapted for pivotally fixing with the mouth piece anchor. Left and right frames each have an inner side adapted for fixing with a frame clamp, and an outer side adapted for fixing with a shaving guide. In use, the knob is tightened to fix the mouthpiece and the frames in place. The person then holds the mouthpiece in his mouth to position the guide device on his face while shaving.
Abstract: A method for removing an artificial fingernail from an underlying natural fingernail to which it is attached by an adhesive has the steps of: (a) soaking the fingertips in warm, soapy water; (b) providing a prying tool comprising a thin, smooth sheet of semi-rigid material; (c) inserting the prying tool between the artificial and the underlying natural fingernails; (d) lifting the artificial fingernail away from the underlying natural fingernail; and (e) manually removing the artificial fingernail from the fingertip.
