    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method to clean and dry a personal hygiene device, such as a razor, tweezers, a comb, a toothbrush or other dental apparatuses, such as a dental pick. Typically, the system includes dryer generally coupled to a curved-wall chamber. The dryer generally includes a housing coupled to a duct, which, in turn is coupled to the curved-wall chamber. The housing includes a fan for pulling intake air into a housing via an air-intake. The housing further may include a heating element for heating air before entry into the curved-wall chamber. Thus, a personal hygiene device placed into a curved-wall chamber having a cleaning fluid can advantageously be cleaned and dried via circulating heated air and fluid within the curved-wall chamber under the circulation force of air provided by the fan.
