Abstract: A thermally enhanced shaving device is provided including a hot air supply, a blade, a housing on which the blade is mounted, and an elongated handle to which the housing is attached. The housing has a continuous hot air passageway through it which has an exit and an entrance. The blade is mounted across the exit of the passageway, while the handle has an internal channel which is connected to the entrance of the hot air passageway. The hot air supply includes a heating filament and fan which can be positioned either within the channel or remote thereto. In any case, the hot air supply, the channel, and the air passageway are all in fluid communication with one another. The device is operated by blowing ambient air across the hot filament using the fan such that the channel directs the resulting hot air through the passageway, past the blade, and onto the surface to be shaven immediately ahead of the blade's shaving path.

Abstract: A rinsable twin bladed shaving cartridge is attachable to a handle and includes a support having an upper platform on which a cap blade is mounted and a lower platform on which a seat blade is mounted. At least one post connects the upper platform to the lower platform to hold the blades substantially parallel to each other and to establish a substantially unobstructed passageway for rinsing debris from around and between the blades.
