Abstract

A shaver (10) includes a razor blade (20a, 20b) that cuts hairs coming into contact therewith. A heating element (26a, 26b) is bonded to the razor blade (20a, 20b). The heating element (26a, 26b) generates heat when an electric current is passed therethrough, the generated heat being directly supplied to the razor blade (20a, 20b). A battery (32) generates electric current, and electrical conductors (28, 30, 50, 52) route electric current generated by the battery (32) to the heating element (26a, 26b). A handle (16) is adapted to be held by a user for manipulation of the shaver (10). Suitably, the handle (16) houses the battery (32), and a head (12) houses the razor blade (20a, 20b) and heating element (26a, 26b) bonded thereto, the head (12) being selectively attachable to and detachable from the handle (16).
