It would be great to have a category in HealthKit around Personal Care metrics - for example: Shaving Frequency.

Primary use case for my application is shaving metrics - people don't know how often they shave and so often run out of razors. Being able to record these metrics would ensure they always have a sharp razor handy and reduce cuts to legs & faces. 

I could imagine that other personal care events - such as how often you brush your teeth or floss - might be relevant to medical practitioners.


Expected Results:
Under 'Health Data', a category called 'Personal Care'
Under 'Personal Care', items such as the following - Floss, Shave (Legs), Shave (Face), Shave (Other) etc


Actual Results:
There are currently no HealthKit-related Personal Care categories. The Quantified Self movement would be appreciative :)
