  • Patent number: 6537534
    Abstract: A waterless shaving system including a method of shavings consisting of the steps of applying a shaving product in the form of a thin transparent film of lubricant gel cream to a dry, unwetted skin surface area to be shaved thus leaving the hair in an erect and substantially rigid condition as compared to hair that has been wetted and soaked which results in the hair being hydrated and becoming limp and easily flexed or bent away from a razor blade when the blade comes into contact with the hair shaft in order to cut the erect hair shafts in a straight, transverse manner closely adjacent the skin surface area being shaved. The residual shaving product is rubbed into the skin area without washing off or rinsing off the skin area with water.

  • Patent number: 6374447
    Abstract: A hand manipulated cordless rechargeable powered washing system powered by an electric motor and a rechargeable battery. The washing system includes an apparatus that is lightweight, self contained and submersible. The motor is a high speed motor having dual planetary reduction gear set to reduce the output to a low rpm high torque drive. The DC motor is powered by a rechargeable stick battery on the housing or on a handle attached to the housing. Interchangeable brushes can be used with different bristle arrangements. The handle is an elongated wand type handle having a U-shaped yoke at one end pivotally connected to the motor housing and includes a lock mechanism engaging a portion of the motor housing to lock the motor housing in rigid predetermined angular relation to the longitudinal axis of the wand type handle to enable a non-concentric, non-perpendicular bristle brush to be rigidly associated in a desired angular relation to the handle.

  • Patent number: 5966821
    Abstract: A storage canister for a rechargeable electric razor and related shaving items including a base having an upper surface with a plurality of recesses formed therein for receiving and stably supporting an electric razor and a plurality of shaving items and a vertically extending cover or enclosure removably mounted on the base for enclosing the electric razor and shaving items when the cover or enclosure is in place on the base and providing easy access to the razor and shaving items when the cover or enclosure is lifted off the base. The storage canister base includes a bottom surface which can be placed on any convenient supporting surface adjacent to or contiguous with a bathroom lavatory sink such as a countertop surface. A recess in the bottom surface of the base includes a stationary spool on which excess DC power cord connecting a recharger with contacts in the razor receiving recess can be wound.

  • Patent number: 5914103
    Abstract: A shaving lotion used when shaving with an electric razor. The shaving lotion includes a combination of lubricants, vitamins, aloe vera, moisturizers, sunscreen with or without sunless tanning and/or fragrance and other constituents to act as a skin enhancing and protecting product which also serves to reduce the appearance of fine lines in the skin surface. The shaving lotion is applied by utilizing a roller ball applicator prior to shaving with an electric razor and has the ability to orient the whiskers or hair vertically or perpendicular to the surface being shaved so that the whole hair shaft can effectively be directed through holes found in the foil shaver or through the grill openings found in a rotary shaver to cut the hair close to the skin surface. After shaving, the light residue of shaving lotion that remains on the skin surface is briskly rubbed into the skin surface to provide skin enhancement and protection.

  • Patent number: 5771591
    Abstract: A disposable resilient razor in which the razor includes a handle and a razor head interconnected by a resilient, flexible, reduced diameter area of plastic material of one piece construction with the handle and head to enable universal or global flexible, resilient movement of the razor head in relation to the handle. The flexible, resilient, reduced diameter area connecting the handle to the razor head retains the handle and razor head in normal position until a force is applied to the handle when the razor head is engaged with a skin surface to be shaved. This enables a razor blade having a cutting edge mounted on the razor head to be oriented in parallel, substantially flush relation to the skin surface.

  • Patent number: 5738122
    Abstract: A storage canister for shaving items including a base having an upper surface with a plurality of recesses formed therein for receiving a plurality of shaving items and a vertically extending cover or enclosure removably mounted on the base for enclosing the shaving items when the cover or enclosure is in place on the base and providing easy access to the shaving items when the cover or enclosure is lifted off the base. The storage canister base includes a bottom surface which can be placed on any convenient supporting surface adjacent to or contiguous with a bathroom lavatory sink such as a countertop surface. The recesses in the base are shaped to receive shaving items such as the head of a razor, a razor blade cartridge dispenser and a container for a shaving lubricant in the form of gel or cream in which the container is in the form of a squeeze tube.

  • Patent number: 5560106
    Abstract: A razor structure incorporating a resilient connection between a razor handle and a razor head which enables the razor head to resiliently float in relation to the handle with the floating head being capable of resilient movement in all directions of movement in which the resilient characteristics of movement of the razor head exerts optimum blade pressure against the anatomical skin surface when the blade or blades on the razor head are oriented in optimum relation to the anatomical skin surface being shaved. A plurality of embodiments of the invention are disclosed with all embodiments enabling the razor head to move against a resilient bias, provided by a resilient, flexible body or component, in all directions or in the X, Y and Z planes.
