Abstract
A detachable oscillating unit is provided which converts a conventional wet shave razor, such as a disposable razor, into an oscillating wet shave razor. The oscillating unit includes a body forming a hollow interior cavity and a pair of attachment members which are fixed to the body for removably attaching the body to the handle of the razor. The attachment members form a longitudinal channel which receives the handle therein and the handle is resiliently clamped or gripped therebetween. The oscillating unit also includes an electric motor mounted within the hollow interior cavity which has a rotatable shaft extending therefrom, an eccentric weight connected to the shaft and disposed within the hollow cavity, and a battery operatively connected to the motor. The motor rotates the eccentric weight to provide a vibration signal which is transmitted from the motor, through the body and the attachment members, to the handle of the razor where it is transmitted to a cutting blade.
