A shaving apparatus with a canopy with a nose guard and chin guard; at least one cutting mechanism disposed on a track within the canopy, wherein the track is configured to define the outline of a beard style; and at least one motor for (a) operating the cutting mechanism(s) and (b) shifting the position of the cutting mechanism(s) around the track. The apparatus may be positioned utilizing the canopy's features. The cutting mechanisms may be spring mounted rotary blades that are pressed against the user's face.

The invention relates to a shaving device for skin hairs. The device comprises a skin-contacting surface structure (14, 15), a cutter (6) for cutting hairs in a hair-cutting area (16), a shape-changing smart material (7), and a controller for controlling activation of the shape-changing smart material during use of the shaving device. The shape-changing smart material is configured, arranged and effective to adapt the relative position and/or relative orientation between at least part of the skin-contacting surface structure (14) and at least part of the hair-cutting area (16).

An electric shaver having a shaving unit (3) and a sensor (15) with a first sensor unit (16) fixed to a main body (2; 202; 302) and a second sensor unit (17) fixed to a sensor unit carrier (22; 222; 322), for indicating a distance between the sensor units (16, 17). The shaving unit (3) and the sensor unit carrier (22; 222; 322) are suspended to the main body (2; 202; 302) for displacement along a z-axis between a rest position (22) and a pushed-in position (22′) in response to a pushing force exerted onto a shaving face (11) of the shaver (1). The first and second sensor units (16, 17) are located in positions offset from the z-axis over a distance (d) in an x-direction. An anti-tilting guide (24-27; 124; 224, 226; 326, 328) is provided for guiding the sensor unit carrier (22; 222; 322) against tilting about a y-axis.

A dreadlock grooming device including handle, a cylindrical housing attached to the handle, a power source, and a power control. The cylindrical housing includes a first-semi-arcuate-section and a second-semi-arcuate-section together forming a clamp of the cylindrical housing. The cylindrical housing includes a plurality of serrated blades positioned along an interior surface of the cylindrical housing provided to remove stray hairs from a section of hair within the clamp formed by the first-semi-arcuate-section and the second-semi-arcuate-section during use.

The present invention relates to motorized clippers for hairs growing in the nose and ear cavities, comprising a shaving head with a moving blade (5) and a stationary blade (6), the stationary blade having slots (7) for penetration of the hairs on the front face (2) and on the side face (3) viewed in the direction of introduction of the shaving head into the cavity to be clipped, and said stationary blade also comprising slots for the penetration of hairs on the rear face (4) allowing cutting also of the hairs during withdrawal of the shaving head from the cavity to be clipped.

A shaving system including a shaving device and a cleaning device. The cleaning device includes a receiving space for receiving the shaving device and a reservoir that contains a cleaning liquid. When the shaving device is placed in a cleaning position, the shaving device and the cleaning device are arranged in a manner that the receiving space of the cleaning device receives a shaving unit of the shaving device. In this cleaning position, the devices are arranged and cooperate such that the fluid is transported from the reservoir to the receiving space, where the shaving unit is located. In this way, the shaving unit can be cleaned.

A hair-cutting appliance comprising at least 19 hair-cutting units (10), each comprising a guard element (20) and a rotatably arranged hair-cutting element (15) having at least one hair-cutting edge (16), is provided. The hair-cutting units of the hair-cutting appliance are relatively small, abase of the guard element having a diameter in a range of 7 mm to 13 mm. In order to have a relatively small guard element (20) which is of robust and uncomplicated design, and which is capable of contributing to excellent hair-cutting results without causing skin irritation, it is proposed to let both an inner surface (35) and an outer surface (36) of an annular shaving track (30) of the guard element (20) have a conical shape relative to a central axis (21) of the guard element (20), in a similar slanting orientation relative to the central axis (21), in at least a hair-cutting portion of the shaving track (30).
