Abstract
A ring razor for persons having finger, hand or arm problems such as arthritis, shaking or the like whereby control of the razor motion is difficult, wherein the razor is mounted on full or partial rings which slide all the way over the fingers to their proximal ends for stability and for allowing the finger ends to be used as sensory feed-back means of hair stubble condition such that the user will know when to shave closer if desired, and to allow user of the finger tips to motionally stabilize and direct the razor strokes in a safe and efficient manner.
Claims8
A finger mountable, finger-pad sensory razor device having a base with at least two substantially tubular shaped finger gripping members such as rings or partial rings having substantially parallel longitudinal bore axes which are coextensive with finger axes and being supported on top of said base, each said gripping member having a lower bore portion lying in a finger pad first plane, each said gripping member being dimensioned to slidably, frictionally and longitudinally axially receive a finger substantially all the way to its proximal end while leaving the distal end of the finger exposed for sensory contact with the users skin, and razor blade head means having a shaving edge and being mounted on the bottom of said base, said shaving edge being oriented substantially laterally to said longitudinal bore axis in a shaving second plane, said longitudinal bore axes, said finger pad first plane and said shaving second plane being spaced apart successively from top to bottom of said device whereby, in concert with the shaving edge being oriented substantially laterally to said longitudinally bore and finger axes, a stroking motion of the hand generally axially of the forearm with the present device mounted on fingers will effect a hair shaving action with an attendant tactile monitoring by the pads of said finger of the hair stubble condition.
