A shaving system comprising a handle, a cartridge including at least one blade, the cartridge being releasably coupled to the handle, a detector, at least one sensor coupled to at least one of the handle and the cartridge, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to output an electrical signal in response to an infrared thermal radiation, detected and measured by the detector, of at least one skin property which is indicative of at least one skin characteristic, a processor configured to receive measurement data from the sensor and to at least one of identify and quantify the at least one skin characteristic based one the received measurement data, and a display configured to convey a message to the user based on skin characteristic data from the processor.

Apparatuses and methods for measuring skin characteristics and enhancing shaving experiences

A system and method for determining a level of wear of at least one blade of a razor cartridge, which includes a sensing unit measures an electrical parameter including one of (i) a total resistance of the at least one blade measured across a length of the at least one blade, and (ii) an electrical conductance of the at least one blade measured across the length of the at least one blade. A processing unit compares the measured electrical parameter to a reference electrical parameter and determines a level of wear of the at least one blade based on an amount of deviation of the measured electrical parameter from the reference electrical parameter. Information regarding the determined level of wear of the at least one blade is provided to a user by at least one of (i) a light indication, (ii) an aural indication, and (iii) a haptic indication.
