A personal consumer product having an energy emitting element in selective electrical communication with a power source is provided. Thermal control circuitry is used to isolate the energy emitting element from the power source when a temperature of the energy emitting element exceeds a threshold. The thermal control circuitry includes a primary thermal control circuit and a redundant thermal control circuit. Methods for controlling the temperature of an energy emitting element of a personal consumer product are also provided.

A hair removal and re-growth suppression apparatus (10) constituted of: a control circuitry (70); a removal and suppression head (20); an extender assembly (23) coupled to the head (20) and extending away from a wall of the head (20) towards an end thereof, the extender assembly defining an opening (17) at an end thereof removed from the wall of the head (20); an irradiating element (40) secured to the head (20) responsive to the control circuitry (70); a reflector (90) disposed on the head (20) between the irradiating element (40) and the head (20); and a cutting element (110) secured to the head (20) and arranged to cut hair when the opening (17) is juxtaposed with a skin portion (140) having a hair (150) extending outward there from, wherein the reflector (90) is arranged to substantially reflect the output electromagnetic radiation toward the opening (17). Optionally, the irradiating element (40) is regularly translated between a first and a second position to heat and cut the hair without damaging the skin.

A heat delivery element for a shaving razor with a face plate having a skin contacting surface and an opposing inner surface. A heater having a heater track is positioned between an upper dielectric layer and a lower dielectric layer. A heat dispersion layer having a lower surface directly contacts the inner surface of the face plate. An upper surface of the heat dispersion layer directly contacts the lower dielectric layer of the heater. The heat dispersion layer has graphite foil compressed by 20% to 50% of an original thickness.
