Abstract: The invention relates to safety razors having blade units carried on a handle, an electrical arrangement including an electrically operated vibration device, and a control device for actuating the vibration device when the blade unit is moved into contact with or into close proximity to the skin of a person holding the razor, a battery accommodated in the handle, a switch for connecting the electrical arrangement to the battery, and optionally, a light emitting diode for illuminating a section of handle neck to indicate that the electrical arrangement is connected to the battery and ready to actuate the vibration device.

Abstract: The invention relates to safety razors that include a blade unit carried on a handle, a vibration device powered by a battery under control of a control device, and a switch, e.g., included in the handle, to switch on and off an electrical connection between the battery and the control device; a storage tray on which the razor is stored when not in use including a magnet so that the switch closes a connection between the battery and the control device when the razor is separated from the storage tray; and a timing device to interrupt the supply of power to the electrical arrangement if the razor is not returned to the razor holder within a predetermined time period after being removed from the razor holder.
