Abstract: An appliance for personal care, such as skin, dental or hair treatment, comprising a dispensing structure (30) for automatically dispensing a fluid. The dispensing structure (30) includes a fluid reservoir (10), a discharge opening (11) and a fluid drive structure (9, 12, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20) for driving the fluid to be dispensed from the reservoir (10) to and out of said discharge opening (11) in accordance with a dispensing rate/time profile (Sx). The fluid drive structure (9, 12, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20) is arranged for spurting at least once during said dispensing operation for squirting an additional quantity of the fluid to and out of the discharge opening (11) in addition to the fluid being dispensed in accordance with said dispensing rate/time profile (Sx).

Abstract: A device (1) for supplying shaving aid (10) to cutting units (22) of an electric shaver (20) is designed as a stand-alone unit which is to be arranged separately from the shaver (20), and which is adapted to receiving the shaver (20). As a consequence of this design, this supplying device (1) may be designed such as to contain more shaving aid (10) than any supplying device that needs to be positioned inside the shaver (20), so that the need for a user to replenish the shaving aid (10) arises less frequently. The supplying device may further comprise means for performing at least one other function than supplying a shaving aid (10) to a shaver (20), for example a function of cleaning a shaving head (21) of the shaver (20) and/or a function of charging a battery of the shaver (20).

Abstract: A system and method for maintaining sharpness of razor blades in multi-razor cartridges, which includes a cup, a removable and re-sealable lid, a predetermined amount of oil and instructions for storing multiple cartridges in a single container, and the cup being sized for traveling so as to permit the handle and the cartridges to be simultaneously stored in the cup for traveling.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method to clean and dry a personal hygiene device, such as a razor, tweezers, a comb, a toothbrush or other dental apparatuses, such as a dental pick. Typically, the system includes dryer generally coupled to a curved-wall chamber. The dryer generally includes a housing coupled to a duct, which, in turn is coupled to the curved-wall chamber. The housing includes a fan for pulling intake air into a housing via an air-intake. The housing further may include a heating element for heating air before entry into the curved-wall chamber. Thus, a personal hygiene device placed into a curved-wall chamber having a cleaning fluid can advantageously be cleaned and dried via circulating heated air and fluid within the curved-wall chamber under the circulation force of air provided by the fan.

Abstract: A set of implements for shaving a body part capable of reducing skin irritation, preventing or promoting faster healing of skin cuts through delivering of a low frequency modulation magnetic field therapy. The set includes a shaving brush and a razor. The shaving brush includes a handle, magnetically conductive bristles, and a permanent magnet contained in the handle of the shaving brush. One set of ends of the bristles of the shaving brush are embedded in the permanent magnet, with the bristles extending axially therefrom and out through the handle of the shaving brush. The magnet forms a magnetic field directed towards the body part and oriented so the positive and of the magnet is directed also towards the body part. During application of shaving cream, repetitive motions by the user cause low frequency modulation of the magnetic field to be applied to the body part that possesses prophylactic and healing properties.

Abstract: A method of shaving includes the steps of providing a bath comprised of an astringent liquid such as witch hazel extract and alcohol, soaking a razor head in the bath after each shave, and shaving with the razor while the razor head is still wet with the astringent liquid from the bath.

Abstract: A shaving device having a body member with an integrally formed cutting head and a permanently or removably attached mirror, whereby a user can view the area being shaved in the mirror. The shaving device may be electric or a straight edge razor.

Abstract: A clip-on mirror for a shaving device of the type having a body member with a cutting head at one end, wherein the clip-on mirror includes a mirror, and attachment mechanism for removably attaching the mirror to the shaving device. The shaving device may be electric or a straight edge razor.

Abstract: A razor assembly for shaving, and a combination razor assembly and container for sharpening the razor, is provided. A razor body includes a blade carrier with a reusable blade. A blade guard engages the blade for guiding over the skin surface during shaving. The guard is released to freely expose the blade for cleaning/sharpening while maintaining the blade attached to the carrier. The container includes an opening for receiving the exposed blade and opposed arrays of honing shoes are provided along a path for engaging the blade during sharpening movement of the razor along the container. A guide track having guide grooves engages the blade guard to ensure accurate movement of the blade with respect to the honing shoes. One honing shoe array along one side of the path is spring biased toward the other to assure unison movement and efficient sharpening action.
