Stubble softening device

Abstract

A hair stubble softening device, including a pliable substrate; and, a first layer of grit material located on a first side of said pliable substrate. The grit layer comprises grit in a range of 300-800 grit for rounding the sharp edges on the ends of trimmed hair. The hair stubble softening device preferably includes a second layer of grit material located on a second side of said pliable substrate. Thus, a double sided, disc-shaped disposable unit is provided. In another embodiment, the invention further includes a handle assembly that is securely attachable to the pliable substrate. In this instance, the pliable substrate includes grit material on one side and fastening material on the other side. The pliable substrate attaches to complementary fastening material on the end of the handle assembly.

1 . A hair stubble softening device, comprising:
 a) a pliable substrate; and,   b) a first layer of grit material located on a first side of said pliable substrate, said grit layer comprising grit in a range of 300-800 grit for rounding the sharp edges on the ends of trimmed hair.   
     
     
         2 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , further comprising a second layer of grit material located on a second side of said pliable substrate. 
     
     
         3 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second layers comprise grit of approximately 400. 
     
     
         4 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , wherein said substrate is disc-shaped. 
     
     
         5 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , wherein said substrate is disc-shaped with a diameter in a range of 2-3.5 inches. 
     
     
         6 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , wherein said substrate comprises foam. 
     
     
         7 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , wherein said substrate comprises plastic. 
     
     
         8 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , wherein said substrate comprises sponge. 
     
     
         9 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle assembly securely attachable to said pliable substrate. 
     
     
         10 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle assembly securely attachable to said pliable substrate, said handle assembly and said pliable substrate each having complementary hook and loop fastening material thereon for said secure attachment. 
     
     
         11 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle assembly securely attachable to said pliable substrate, wherein said pliable substrate and said first layer of grit material are disposable. 
     
     
         12 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle assembly, comprising:
 a) a conical element having a narrow end and a wide end;   b) a handle element located at said narrow end;   c) a base section located at said wide end configured to be securely attachable to said pliable substrate.   
     
     
         13 . The hair stubble softening device of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle assembly securely attachable to said pliable substrate, wherein said handle assembly comprises a motor assembly arranged and constructed to spin or vibrate said pliable substrate. 
     
     
         14 . A method for softening a beard stubble, comprising the steps of:
 a) providing a device, comprising a pliable substrate; and, a first layer of grit material located on a first side of said pliable substrate, said grit layer comprising grit in a range of 300-800 grit; and,   b) rubbing said first layer of grit material against the operator's stubble to, dull the sharp edges from the ends of trimmed hair.
