According to a first aspect, a razor head is provided. The razor head comprises one or more cutting members, one or more resilient elements, wherein a resilient element of the one or more resilient elements is connected with a respective cutting member from the one or more cutting members and wherein at least one resilient element of the one or more resilient elements is configured to transduce vibrations from the respective cutting member of the one or more cutting members into an electrical signal corresponding to the vibrations when the razor head is used by a user.

A shaving razor having at least two independent blade assemblies coupled to substantially rigid linkages. The linkages each defining a pivot point between the two independent blade assemblies. A bridge spans between the linkages such that movement of the bridge causes pivoting about the pivot point enabling reciprocating motion of the blade assemblies where assemblies on opposite sides of the pivot point reciprocate in opposite directions.

A shaving razor. A first and second blade assembly each have a cutting edge oriented to shave in the same direction. The first and second blade assemblies are each displaceable along a respective first and second path substantially parallel to their cutting edge. First and second linkages couple together a first ends and second ends respectively of the first and second blade assembly. The linkages are configured such that a displacement of the first blade assembly in a first direction along the first path causes a displacement of the second blade assembly in an opposite direction along the second path. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

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.

Embodiments of a razor are disclosed. According to at least one embodiment, a razor includes a handle grippable by a user, a blade housing coupled to an end of the handle, the blade housing accommodating therein one or more blades, a power generation unit mounted in the handle for generating power, a drive transmission unit configured to be driven using the power generated by the power generation unit, and a swing member disposed in front of a foremost blade among the one or more blades, to swing closer to or farther away from the one or more blades according to driving of the drive transmission unit. The razor may be realized in various ways according to embodiments disclosed.

A shaving razor having independent blade assemblies coupled to linkages with flexible regions between the blade assemblies. The linkages permitting reciprocating motion of the blade assemblies where adjacent assemblies reciprocate in opposite directions. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

A shaving razor system with a handle and a shaving razor cartridge mounted to the handle. A flexible electrical bridge with a portion positioned within the handle extends from the handle to the shaving razor cartridge. The flexible electrical bridge has a loop between the shaving razor cartridge and the handle.

A shaving razor having independent blade assemblies coupled to linkages with flexible regions between the blade assemblies. The linkages permitting reciprocating motion of the blade assemblies where adjacent assemblies reciprocate in opposite directions. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

The present invention provides for a lighted shaving apparatus and more specifically, to a shaving apparatus with a pivotally attached lighting device and a blade cartridge with at least two blades and the light illuminates through a space between the two blades and forms a shaving guide.
