Personal Grooming Device

A personal grooming device, comprising:

• a head portion having a mount for releasably mourning a disposable razor blade;
• and
• a means for rotating the disposable razor blade clockwise and/or counterclockwise by a predefined number of degrees less than one full turn;
• a handle portion defining a generally elongate structure having a first end and second end, wherein the first end fixedly engages, or is unitary with, the head portion, wherein the handle portion comprises an outer handle which receives an inner handle in a slidable relation, and wherein the handle portion includes a plurality of selectable mechanical stops adapted to reversibly lock the inner and the outer handles in a fixed relation relative to each other.

A personal grooming device, comprising:

• a head portion having a mount for releasably mounting a disposable razor blade;
• and
• a means for rotating the disposable razor blade clockwise and/or counterclockwise by a predefined number of degrees less than one full turn, wherein the means for rotating includes:
• (i) an electrical power supply disposed on-board the device;
• (ii) a solenoid mounted to an interior surface of the device and having a movable armature, the solenoid being in electrical communication with the power supply;
• (iii) a manually actuated electrical switching means in electrical communication between the power supply and the solenoid, wherein the switching means is adapted to energize and de-energize the solenoid;
• (iv) a first gear rotatably mounted to an interior surface of the head portion, wherein the first gear mechanically cooperates with the means for mounting at least one razor to the head portion such that rotation of the first gear causes rotation of the means for mounting;
• and
• (v) a linkage adapted to transmit movements of the armature to the first gear resulting in rotation of the first gear;
• and
• a handle portion defining, a generally elongate structure having a first end and second end, wherein the first end fixedly engages, or is unitary with, the head portion, wherein the handle portion comprises an outer handle which receives an inner handle in a slidable relation, and wherein the handle portion includes a plurality of selectable mechanical stops adapted to reversibly lock the inner and the outer handles in a fixed relation relative to each other.
