First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lighted shaving apparatus comprising: a housing having opposing ends, a first bottom end forming a handle and a second top end having a connecting member; a lighting device pivotally attached to said connecting member, said lighting device having a front and back side, said front side comprising at least one light; and at least one blade cartridge having at least two blades and space between said blades, said blade cartridge designed to be attachable to and detachable from said top side of said housing, when in a use position, said lights are activated and illuminates through said space between said blades to thereby illuminate a user's face when shaving. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said housing comprises an internal cavity and an exterior surface. 3. The apparatus of claim 2 further comprising a power source, said power source is situated within said cavity of said housing. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said first bottom end forming a handle is hollow and contains a power source. 5. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said power source is selected from a group consisting essentially of batteries, rechargeable batteries, and combinations thereof. 6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said light moves pivotally with movement of said blade cartridge. 7. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein said light is attached at a pivot point. 8. The apparatus of claim 6 where at least one wire runs through said pivot point from said cavity to said light to provide power. 9. The apparatus of claim 2 further comprises a first button for slidably moving said connecting member thereby moving said lighting device. 10. The apparatus of claim 9 further comprises a second button for detaching said attached blade cartridge. 11. The apparatus of claim 1 said internal cavity contains control circuitry. 12. The apparatus of claim 1 said internal cavity contains wires. 13. The apparatus of claim 1 said internal cavity contains a motor, said motor creates vibration. 14. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein said first and second buttons are the same button, said same button moves in one direction to move said connecting member and in an opposite direction to detach said attached blade cartridge, said same button is situated on said external surface of said housing. 15. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprises a light button for activating said light, said button being situated on said external surface of said housing. 16. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprises an agitator, said agitator designed to create vibration. 17. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said light button activates said agitator. 18. The apparatus of claim 1 having a surface light. 19. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said light button activate said surface light. 20. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said light creates a visible line on a surface to be shaved, said visible line acts as a guide for shaving. 21. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said top portion of said housing further comprises at least two pins and said blade cartridge further comprises at least two apertures for receiving said pins and securing said blade cartridge to said housing. 22. The apparatus of claim 21 wherein said blade cartridge is pivotally attached to said pins of said housing during said use position. 23. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said top portion of said housing is angled to provide for optimal shaving. 24. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein a portion of said housing comprises grips. 25. A lighted shaving apparatus comprising: a housing having opposing ends, a first bottom end forming a handle and a second top end having a connecting member, said top end of said housing having at least one pin; and a lighting device pivotally attached to said connecting member, said lighting device having a front and back side, said front side comprising at least one light, said pin designed to hold at least one blade cartridge. 26. The apparatus of claim 25 further comprises at least one blade cartridge having at least two blades, space between said blades and at least one aperture for receiving said pin, said blade cartridge designed to be attachable to and detachable from said pin, when in a use position, said lights are activated and illuminates through said space between said blades to thereby illuminate a user's face when shaving. 27. The apparatus of claim 25 wherein said top end of said housing has at least two pins and said blade cartridge has a back side with at least two apertures for receiving said pins, said blade cartridge is pivotally attached to said two pins on said top end of said housing.
