Title: Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulator razor system
Inventor: ORLOFF GLENNIS J
IPC: B26B21/40
Filed: 1999-08-03
Abstract: A transcutaneous electric nerve stimulator wet shave razor system. The razor cartridge of this system contains at least two electrodes, preferably the blades, and the system contains sufficient electronics to generate an electrical signal. The electrodes are adjacent to electrical contacts within the razor cartridge and the contacts are connected, via wires, to a signal generation circuit which is connected to one or more batteries. The battery produces a voltage which is to generate a waveform by the signal processing unit.
