System and method for improving the shaving experience by providing improved visibility of the skin shaving area. A digital camera is integrated with the electric shaver for close image capturing of shaving area, and displaying it on a display unit. The display unit can be integral part of the electric shaver casing, or housed in a separated device which receives the image via a communication channel. The communication channel can be wireless (using radio, audio or light) or wired, such as dedicated cabling or using powerline communication. A light source is used to better illuminate the shaving area. Video compression and digital image processing techniques are used for providing for improved shaving results. The wired communication medium can simultaneously be used also for carrying power from the electric shaver assembly to the display unit, or from the display unit to the electric shaver.

The invention relates to an epilating device (10) for epilating hairs growing from skin, comprising a housing; an epilating system having a plurality of hair-clamping elements arranged adjacent to each other rotatably on a curved supporting shaft which extends in a plane of curvature; a drive system arranged (58) to rotate the hair-clamping elements; a skin-contacting member (16) arranged to contact the skin during use and to be pivotable relative to the housing about a first pivot axis; a compression member arranged adjacent to the epilating system to exert a compression force on the epilating system directed along a compression line, said compression member being pivotable relative to the housing about a second pivot axis to adjust a position of the compression line relative to the housing; and a linkage mechanism linking the skin-contacting member and the compression member such that a pivotal motion of the skin-contacting member about the first pivot axis over a first pivot angle results in a pivotal motion of the compression member about the second pivot axis over a second pivot angle equal to the first pivot angle; wherein the compression member is arranged in a fixed position relative to the curved supporting shaft; and the linkage mechanism links the skin-contacting member (16) and the supporting shaft such that the pivotal motion of the skin-contacting member (16) about the first pivot axis over the first pivot angle results in a pivotal motion of the supporting shaft about the second pivot axis over the second pivot angle.

A hand operated device, and improvements thereof, for the removal of unwanted hairs from the nose and ears. The device comprised of a handle body and trigger assembly that, when squeezed between the thumb and fingers, remotely compresses a spring at its end. Which spring can be inserted blindly into the cavities of the nose and ears to grasp and remove the hair thereof.

A lighted epilating device is configured in an elongated manner, such as a substantially cylindrical configuration, with an operating area of a tweezer mechanism exposed at a side and on one end thereof, with the tweezer mechanism capable of performing an epilating function to areas of a user's skin placed at the operating area. A light source is contained in the main body and is configured to illuminate the operating area and a shield which surrounds the tweezer mechanism. The shield further has an opening defining the operating area and is transparent or translucent to provide viewing and further illumination.
