Patent attributes
A shaving system includes a razor body having a blade releaseably secured at a first distal end thereof. A processor having a timing mechanism is positioned within the razor body. A pressure sensor is positioned externally on the razor body for selectively determining if the razor body is being gripped. A movement sensor is positioned adjacent to the blade and within the razor body for selectively determining whether the blade is moving along a surface. Both the pressure sensor and movement sensor are coupled to the processor. The system further includes means for indicating that the blade should be replaced. Upon the pressure sensor and the movement sensor being activated simultaneously, the timing mechanism is caused to count down from a predetermined initial value representing an amount of time required until the blade needs to be replaced which is indicated by the indicating means.
