Abstract:
1. A razor comprising: a body with a handle and a blade, the handle including an elongated shape with a longitudinal axis; at least one light element associated with the handle that emits light, the at least one light element being configured to emit the light in an axial direction along the longitudinal axis and a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; a housing positioned at the end of the body that extends over and encloses the at least one light element and includes a lateral wall with a light emitting portion that extends along a first portion of the lateral wall with a remainder of the lateral wall being opaque, the housing also including a light emitting axial end wall that extends across the longitudinal axis; and a sleeve comprising an opaque body with a pair of spaced-apart end walls that are separated by a gap, the sleeve being operatively connected to the housing, the sleeve being positionable between a first orientation with the opaque body positioned across the light emitting portion of the lateral wall to prevent the light from being emitted in the lateral direction with just the light through the axial end wall being emitted from the handle, and a second orientation with the gap positioned at the light emitting portion for the light to be emitted from the handle through both the light emitting portion of the lateral wall and the light emitting axial end wall; the sleeve being positioned away from the light emitting axial end wall of the housing with the light being emitted from the handle and onto the blade in each of the first and second orientations.
