The workpiece is mounted on a base and the blade is mounted with respect to the base via one or more slide members.

Abstract: A wireless hot shaving cream dispenser is provided. The dispenser includes a nozzle extending from a housing for dispensing a foam output. A flow path extends within the housing from a soap solution reservoir to the nozzle. A disrupter on the flow path downstream from the reservoir has a convoluted surface on the flow path to form a foam from soap solution flowing along the flow path. A heating assembly heats the dispenser to provide heat to the foam on the flow path, and a pump pumps soap solution from the reservoir through the disrupter to the nozzle along the flow path. A method of producing a hot shaving cream lather using the dispenser is provided.

Abstract: A massage device that includes a housing, an electrical input, a motor, a switch in electrical communication with the electrical input and the motor and configured to selectively provide power from the electrical input to the motor, an actuated output operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, and a treatment structure operatively connected to a distal end of the actuated output. The actuated output is configured to reciprocate the treatment structure at a frequency of between about 15 Hz and about 100 Hz, and at an amplitude of between about 0.15 and about 1.0 inches. The combination of amplitude and frequency provides efficient reciprocation of the treatment structure such that the treatment structure provides therapeutically beneficial treatment to a targeted muscle of a user.
