ABSTRACT:
The apparatus comprises a chilling implement and a shaving implement. The chilling implement comprises a body with a roller at each end and containing a supply of shaving gel which is dispensed onto one of the rollers. The shaving implement comprises a drive unit and a plurality of cutting edges arranged in a flat plane when at rest. The edges can be deflected out of the plane linearly and perpendicularly to the plane or rockably about axes parallel to the plane and perpendicular to the cutting edges. The apparatus is spring loaded to return the edges to the plane. In refined embodiments the assemblies holding the cutting edges are pivotally attached to allow each assembly to also rock on an axis parallel to the cutting edges and the cutting edge assemblies are springably interconnected so that the plane of the cutting edges can be flat or twisted in either direction about an axis parallel to the plane. The shaving implement also comprises a roller with its axis parallel to the at-rest cutting edges. The roller is positioned such that it contacts the skin ahead of the cutting edges and is spring loaded to deflect in an arc toward the cutting edges and their at-rest plane. At rest the roller surface contacting the skin is approximately 1/4 inch out of the at-rest plane of the cutting edges. The cutting edges are oscillated by the drive unit, the direction of oscillation being linear in the direction perpendicular to the cutting edges and in their at-rest plane.
Before use, the chilling implement and the gel it contains are refrigerated to approximately 0.degree. F. In use the gel coated roller is used to chill an area of skin and apply a thin coating of shaving gel before the area is shaved with the shaving implement. The second roller is used to chill without adding saving gel.
