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.

An adjustable cutting brush, including a brush body, a handle removably attached to the brush body, a blade disposed on a surface of the brush body, and removable bristles attached to the surface of the brush body.

A personal hygiene device has a drive unit, an energy storage, such as a rechargeable battery, a determination unit for repeatedly or constantly determining an energy storage level of the energy storage, and a control unit arranged for providing energy from the energy storage at the drive unit during an on state of the device and for gradually reducing the energy level from a nominal energy level to a first reduced energy level during a first energy level reduction time period when the determined energy storage level has fallen below a first energy storage level threshold but is above a second energy storage level threshold and for continuing provision of the first reduced energy level while the device stays in an on state and the determined energy storage level stays above the second energy storage level threshold.

A shaving unit and/or electric shaver having a lighting module for providing an optical heating function at a skin-contacting surface of the shaving unit is disclosed. An encapsulation arrangement for components of the lighting module using a potting material is described. The potting material encapsulates, on both an upper and lower side, a carrier to one or more lighting elements are mounted.

The shaving razor is a battery-operated electric razor with an internal water supply and vacuum subsystem. The razor may shave hair using one or more blades having reciprocating cutting edges behind foil shields. The internal water supply may be used to spray water from a water reservoir within the razor through a manifold next to the blades onto the skin and hair to soften the hair. A sponge adjacent to the blades may soak up excess water as well as moisten the skin. The vacuum system operates to suck hair clippings into a collection compartment within the razor. The collection compartment hinges open to be emptied.

An electrically operable clipper has a body portion and a head portion, wherein the head portion includes a movable cutter and a fixed comb. The clipper includes an internally located electric motor operable to move the movable cutter. The clipper further includes an operating switch movable between an off position, an operating position and a reset position, wherein the reset position operates a motor reset module of the clipper.

Disclosed is a pet clipper for clipping or trimming hair of pet animals, such as a dog or a cat, by providing adequate lighting via the same pet clipper during the hair clipping or trimming process. The lighting provides halo-illumination lighting effect such that a 360-degree light encircles a clipping or trimming surface of a pet animal during the hair clipping or trimming process. The use of halo-illumination allows a user to see the clipping or trimming surface of the pet animal more clearly and effectively, thus providing the user sufficient information as to whether they are performing a suitable job during the hair clipping or trimming process.
