Abstract: A kit that includes a personal care implement having a section at least partially made from a magnetic and/or ferromagnetic material, and a magnetic holder to which the personal care implement is magnetically attachable and detachable, the magnetic holder having a timer, the timer being activated by detaching the personal care implement from the magnetic holder.

Abstract: Sensor-based shaving systems and methods of analyzing a user's shave event are described for determining a unique threshold value of the user. A grooming device comprises a handle having a connecting structure connected to a hair cutting implement. A shave event sensor associated with the grooming device measures a user behavior, which includes collecting a first dataset comprising shave data defining a shave event. The first dataset is transmitted via a communication device and is analyzed to determine baseline behavior data of the user, and a unique threshold value of the user is determined from the baseline behavior data. One or more subsequent datasets, each comprising shave data of one or more corresponding shave events, is compared to the unique threshold value to determine comparison data. An indication is provided, based on the comparison data, to indicate a deviation from the threshold value and to influence the user behavior.

Abstract: A grooming device. The grooming device includes a handle having a housing portion with proximal and distal ends. A displacement sensor is positioned within the handle. A power source is positioned within the handle and provides power to the displacement sensor. A neck portion of the handle has proximal and distal ends and the distal end of the neck portion is connected to the proximal end of the housing portion. An implement connecting structure is positioned at the proximal end of the neck portion and includes a connection element. An eject element is moveable within the handle, and a location element is connected to the eject element. A grooming implement is connected to the connection element. As the eject element moves to eject the grooming implement from the connection element the displacement sensor detects displacement of the location element.

Abstract: A grooming device including a handle and a grooming implement connected to the handle. The handle includes a first portion having a housing, a proximal end and a distal end. A displacement sensor is positioned within the housing. A power source is positioned within the housing with the power source providing power to the displacement sensor. A neck portion is pivotably connected to the proximal end of the first portion about a handle pivot axis. The neck portion includes a proximal end, a distal end and a location element. As the neck portion pivots about the handle pivot axis relative to the first portion the displacement sensor detects displacement of the location element.
