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 system for treating a part of a body to be treated, comprising a hand-held treating device, the treating device comprising a treating unit; wherein the treating device is configured such that a treating action of each portion of a plurality of portions of the treating unit can be selectively enabled and disabled independently of the treating action of the other portions of the treating unit; and a controller configured to receive information on a predetermined pattern to be created on the part of the body to be treated, and to selectively enable and disable the treating action of the portions of the treating unit according to the received information as the treating device is moved over the part of the body to create the predetermined pattern on the part of the body.

A hair removal device comprising a working head attached to a handle for moving the working head along a skin surface is provided. The working head includes at least one hair removal tool defining a skin contact contour of the working head, wherein the at least one hair removal tool is movable relative to the handle under a skin contact pressure by a support structure to allow for pivoting of the working head's skin contact contour relative to the handle. The support structure movably supporting the hair removal tool relative to the handle is configured to allow for pivoting of the skin contact contour relative to the handle about an angle of about +/−15° or more under a contact force of about 0.75 N or less and/or about an angle of about +/−20° or more under a contact force of about 1.5 N or less.

A hair length mapping or cutting device uses multiple comb elements to capture bunches of hair as it is traversed across a scalp. The comb elements are traversed away from the scalp to individually measure or cut each bunch of hair to length. Hair may be cut to conform to a hair style mapped, for instance, from an earlier measurement of a hair style.

A grooming device. The grooming device includes a handle having a housing portion with proximal and distal ends. A displacement sensor is positioned within the handle. A power source is positioned within the handle and provides power to the displacement sensor. A neck portion of the handle has proximal and distal ends and the distal end of the neck portion is connected to the proximal end of the housing portion. An implement connecting structure is positioned at the proximal end of the neck portion and includes a connection element. An eject element is moveable within the handle, and a location element is connected to the eject element. A grooming implement is connected to the connection element. As the eject element moves to eject the grooming implement from the connection element the displacement sensor detects displacement of the location element.

One or more embodiments of a hair cutting device which includes a hair cutting blade and a controller. The hair cutting blade includes a plurality of component blades configured to cut by moving in a first direction. A first component blade of the plurality of component blades is arranged to move independently from another component blade of the plurality of component blades in a second direction which is not parallel to the first direction. The controller is configured to control the hair cutting blade including movement of the first component blade of the plurality of component blades in the second direction.
