The present disclosure relates to a hair cutting appliance (10), a blade set (22; 130; 150; 170) for a hair cutting appliance (10), and to a stationary blade (24) for said blade set (22; 130; 150; 170). Said stationary blade (24) may comprise a first wall portion (70) arranged to serve as a skin facing wall when in operation; a second wall portion (72) at least partially offset from the first wall portion (70), such that the first wall portion (70) and the second wall portion (72) define therebetween a guide slot (74) arranged to receive a movable cutter blade (26); at least one toothed leading edge (32, 34) jointly formed by the first wall portion (70) and the second wall portion (72); wherein a plurality of teeth (38) is provided at the at least one toothed leading edge (32, 34), the teeth (38) comprising a first leg (80) defined by the first wall portion (70) and a second leg (82) defined by the second wall portion (72); wherein the first wall portion (70) and the second wall portion (72) are connected at a frontal end of the at least one toothed leading edge (32, 34), thereby forming tips (66) of the teeth (38); and wherein the teeth (38) are, at their second legs (82), tapered along at least a substantial portion of their longitudinal extension towards a bottom side (64) of the stationary blade (24) facing away from the skin, when in operation.

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 computer-implemented method (100) is described. The method includes obtaining (102) an indication comprising a skin parameter of a user. The obtained indication further includes an interaction between the user's skin and a hair removal unit. The method further includes determining (104) a position of the hair removal unit relative to the user's skin. The method further includes determining (106) a hair removal instruction for the user based on the indication and the position such that a user interface is caused (108) to provide the hair removal instruction for the user.

The present invention relates to a personal care device, in particular a hair removal device such as an electric shaver, comprising a working head for effecting a personal care treatment to a body surface, a handle for manually moving the working head along the body surface, and an adjustment device for adjusting a mechanical setting and/or a mechanical function of the working head and/or a part thereof, wherein a hazard determination device is provided for determining hazards for the personal care device, wherein the adjustment device is configured to adjust the working head and/or a part thereof into a safe harbor mechanical setting and/or a safe harbor mechanical function in response to a hazard signal from the hazard determination device.

The invention relates to a shaving unit (11) for use in a shaving device (1). The shaving unit comprises a supporting member (19, 21a, 21b, 21c) and at least two hair cutting units (7a, 7b, 7c) supported by the supporting member. Each hair cutting unit comprises an external cutting member (25a) with hair-entry openings (31) and an internal cutting member (27a) which is rotatable relative to the external cutting member about an axis of rotation (41) and which has a plurality of hair-cutting elements (35). The shaving unit further comprises a retaining structure (23a, 23b, 23c) which is releasably couplable to the supporting member and which is configured to retain the at least two hair cutting units in an operational position relative to the supporting member in an assembled condition of the shaving unit. The retaining structure comprises, for each respective hair cutting unit of the at least two hair cutting units, a separate retaining member (23a, 23b, 23c) which is releasably couplable to the supporting member and which is configured to separately retain the respective hair cutting unit in an operational position relative to the supporting member independently from any other of the at least two hair cutting units. The retaining structure further comprises, for each respective hair cutting unit of the at least two hair cutting units, a locking member (67) comprising at least one locking element (79a, 79b) which, in the assembled condition of the shaving unit, is biased by spring force towards the external cutting member of the respective hair cutting unit and engaged by an engagement element (87a, 87b) of the external cutting member to prevent rotation of the external cutting member about the axis of rotation. The locking member provided for the respective hair cutting unit is separately arranged from any other locking member, provided for any other of the at least two hair cutting units, and integrated with the separate retaining member provided for the respective hair cutting unit.
