Abstract: A magnetic shaving system includes a pre-trimming solution containing particles having magnetic properties and a shaving apparatus having a magnet. The shaving apparatus may include only a magnet or may include a magnet in proximity of a typical razor blade. The pre-trimming solution is applied to the desired area and the magnetic shaving apparatus is applied over the solution. The magnetic solution surround the hairs and causes the hairs to be drawn toward the magnetic shaving apparatus and away from the skin, yielding a more comfortable and effective shave.

Abstract: An improved portable band saw having a unitary, rigid frame, a novel blade alignment, greatly increasing the depth of cut.

Abstract: A line for a rotating trimmer has a plurality of longitudinal outwardly-extending cutting edges, spaced circumferentially about the main body portion of the line. A cross-sectional area of the main body portion is selected to be between 70 percent and 90 percent of the area of the space circumscribing the cutting edges to provide substantial bulk to the line to increase its wear, while retaining the advantages of the cutting edges for facilitating cutting of grass and the like.
