automatically activating, by the processor of the one or more electronic razors, a razor blade motor and a suction fan motor of the one or more electronic razors when a motion of the one or more electronic razors is detected.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprises:
receiving, by the processor of the one or more electronic razors, first information from an application of a communication device wirelessly connected to the one or more electronic razors;
sending, by the processor of the one or more electronic razors, second information to the application; and
determining, by the processor of the one or more electronic razors, one or more actions of the one or more electronic razors based on at least a portion of at least one of the first information and the second information.
9 . An electronic razor, comprising:
a frame;
one or more razor blades detachably mounted to the frame;
