Abstract
A method of shaving a beard is disclosed which includes the steps of passing the hairs of a beard through an electrically and thermally insulating grid and then applying laser energy of selected wave lengths to the ends of the hairs passing through the grid. Preferably, the energy from the laser source is directed perpendicularly to the hairs in the grid.
Claims2
A method of shaving a beard, comprising the steps of:
- passing hairs of the beard through an electrically and thermally insulating grid;
- and,
- applying energy delivered by a laser source of selected wave lengths to the ends of the hairs passing through the grid, whereby the hairs are singed along their entire length, and thereby eliminated.
The method of claim 2, comprising the step of directing the energy from the laser source in a beam aligned substantially perpendicularly to the hairs in the grid.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
