A personal care appliance with a flexible circuit board having a first end portion, a second end portion and a flexible bridge between the first end portion and the second end portion. A first rigid circuit board is mounted to the first end portion of the flexible circuit board. A second rigid circuit board is mounted to the second end portion of the flexible circuit board and folded over the first rigid circuit board. At least one electronic component that emits electromagnetic waves is mounted to the first rigid circuit board. A flexible shield is folded over the at least one electronic component.

A shaving blade unit with a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front edge, a rear edge and a pair of side edges extending between the front edge and the rear edge. The housing has at least one blade disposed between the front edge and the rear edge. The at least one blade has a cutting edge and a blade axis. A first aperture and a second aperture extend into the housing from the top surface. The first and second apertures are positioned in back of the cutting edges in a direction perpendicular to the cutting edge. A pair of spaced apart clips each clip having a leg received within the corresponding aperture of the housing. The clips retain the at least one blade within the housing.

A shaving razor handle with a handle casing and a handle interconnect member coupled to the handle casing. The handle interconnect member has a body with an arched profile. A projection extends from the body. The projection has a pair of side surfaces that taper from an enlarged distal end to a relatively smaller base forming a projected apex angle.

A shaver head comprising a blade assembly having one or more blades for cutting hair in a shaving direction; a skin adaptor extending from an outer periphery of said blade assembly and having a skin adaptor surface configured to be in contact with a shaving surface; a coil assembly, the coil assembly being configured to be transitioned between an active state and an inactive state and to generate an electromagnetic field in the active state. The electromagnetic field can be configured to cause pili muscles in the shaving surface to contract in order to expose hair of the shaving surface so that the hair is cut by the blades of the blade assembly.

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.

A constructive solution where hair removal by thermal dispensing is enabled by the action of accumulators and electric system (4) or by direct supply (6, 7) of electric power converted into thermal power, aiming at the preheating and later heating of a laminar or filamentary conductor (2), upon thermal dispensing by the action of an electrical resistance, conduction by heat transfer, or also conduction or thermal diffusion.
