Shaving & hair removal
It is common practice among most of the world's population to remove hair in order to improve personal appearance. Removal of unwanted hair from different parts of the body is a well established modality in cosmetic surgery practice as well as in cosmetology. The female is especially desirous of removing unwanted hair on the face, underarms, legs and other anatomical parts that may be exposed because of current fashions such as bikini bathing suits and the like. Various methods are known for removing unwanted body hair. Techniques for permanent hair removal generally fall into one of three categories: electrolytic, thermolytic, or a blend of electrolytic and thermolytic techniques. For temporary removal of hair from large areas of the body, shaving or treatment by chemical depilatories is known. In the case of removal of a limited number of hairs from smaller areas of the body, such as the eyebrows, or of isolated facial hairs, plucking or pulling the hair out of the body dermis is generally employed. The most popular means of hair removal is accomplished primarily by shaving with either a razor blade or electric shaver. Many types of electrically driven hair cutting instruments including stationary blade elements and movable blade elements are known. Those hair cutters can be broadly characterized into those in which the moveable blade elements reciprocate relative to the stationary blade element in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the device, and those in which the moveable blade elements reciprocate in a direction parallel to the axis of the device. Shaving systems are known wherein a replaceable cartridge contains a housing having a plurality of blades contained therein, the blades being resiliently mounted relative to the housing so as to deflect in response to the contours of the skin during the shaving process. The trimming and shaping of beards, mustaches and side burns is essential for proper grooming and style for the majority of men who wear them.
