Abstract: A networked shaving appliance system includes: (a) a shaving appliance including a handle and a shaving head cartridge connected to the handle and motion, orientation, and/or pressure sensors associated with the handle and/or shaving head cartridge; (b) a sensor circuit connected to receive sensor signals and generate shave event information from the sensor signals; (c) a network circuit wirelessly connected with a computer network and communicating at least the shave event information to the computer network; and (d) a computerized tool operating, at least in part, on a computerized user device connected to the computer network.

Abstract: A method for generating user feedback information from a shave event associated with a user. A shaving razor is provided to user. The shaving razor includes a handle, a hair cutting implement connected to the handle, at least one motion sensor in the handle, a communication device associated with the handle and a power source associated with the handle. The power source powers the at least one motion sensor and the communication device. User profile data is collected from the user. Shave event data associated with the user during a shave is collected from the at least one motion sensor. The shave event data and user profile data are processed to generate user feedback information. The user feedback information is communicated to the user.

Abstract: A shaving appliance includes: a handle and a shaving head connected to the handle; a plurality of sensors provided in the shaving head and/or handle; a sensor circuit connected via a data connection to receive sensor signals from the plurality of sensors and to generate shave stroke direction information from the sensor signals; and a notification circuit determining relative shave stroke direction information for a user from the shave stroke direction information and from hair growth direction information electronically stored with respect to the user.

Abstract: A shaving appliance includes: (a) a handle and a shaving head cartridge connected to the handle; (b) motion, orientation, and/or pressure sensors associated with the handle and/or the shaving head cartridge; (c) a cartridge replacement sensor/circuit; (d) a sensor circuit connected via a data connection to receive sensor signals from the motion, orientation and/or pressure sensors, to receive a new cartridge event signal from the cartridge replacement sensor/circuit, and to generate cumulative shave event information from the sensor signals upon receiving a new cartridge event signal; and (e) a notification circuit communicating cumulative shave event information to a user.

Abstract: A method for generating user feedback information from a shave event associated with a user. A shaving razor is provided to user. The shaving razor includes a handle, a hair cutting implement connected to the handle, at least one motion sensor in the handle, a communication device positioned in the handle and a power source positioned in the handle. The power source powers the at least one motion sensor and the communication device. User profile data is collected from the user. Shave event data associated with the user during a shave is collected from the at least one motion sensor. The shave event data and user profile data is processed to generate user feedback information. The user feedback information is communicated to the user.

Abstract: A method of viewing a surface comprising taking at least a first image from a first position and a second image from a second position to allow for comparative analysis and diagnosis of the surface.

Abstract: A method for shaving an area of skin to remove hair therefrom is provided, the method comprising the step of applying a non-foaming, hydrating composition to the area of skin to be shaved, the non-foaming, hydrating composition comprising: a non-foaming, hydrating composition; thickener hydrophobic components and hydrating composition; then shaving the area of skin to be shaved using a razor.
