Abstract
A system for storing a razor to prolong its shelf life can comprise a razor enclosure. The razor enclosure can comprise a casing and a lining. The casing can comprise a base and a lid. The base can house a razor, and the lid can form a substantially enclosed chamber with the base. The lining can be mounted within the inner surface of the casing. The lining can comprise a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers can be an inner layer capable of supporting the razor, a waterproof outer layer, and an absorbent inner core.
Description
- This disclosure relates to a system for storing a razor to prolong its shelf life.
- Today, one of the most common ways of storing a razor is by placing it in a closed drawer, or by laying it exposed in an open shelf. Such method can be effective in safely keeping the razor out of reach from small children, but it does not prevent the razor from exposure to moisture and other air contaminants. Another method used in storing the razor is placing it within a container. This method can be effective in minimizing exposure to outside environment but does little or no help in prolonging the shelf life of the blade in a razor. Extending the shelf life of a razor blade is of great use to a consumer, as razor blades can be quite expensive. In 2016, blade cartridges often sale for between one to five dollars a piece. As such it would be useful to have an improved system for storing a razor to prolong its shelf life.
- A system for storing a razor to prolong its shelf life is described herein. In one embodiment, a razor enclosure can comprise a casing and a lining. The casing can comprise a base and a lid. The base can house a razor, and the lid can form a substantially enclosed chamber with the base. The lining can be mounted within the inner surface of the casing. The lining can comprise a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers can be an inner layer capable of supporting the razor, a waterproof outer layer, and an absorbent inner core that can be between the inner layer and the waterproof outer layer.
- In another embodiment, the razor enclosure can comprise the casing, and the lining. The casing comprising the base, the lid, and a hole. The base can house the head of the razor. The lid can be capable of closing the base. The hole can allow the handle of the razor to stick out of the casing. The lining can be mounted within the inner surface of the casing. The lining can comprise the plurality of layers. The plurality of layers can be the inner layer capable of supporting the razor, the waterproof outer layer, and the absorbent inner core that can be between the inner layer and the waterproof outer layer.
- Further, in another embodiment, the razor enclosure can comprise the casing and the lining. The casing can comprise a rectangular opening, the base can cover the blade of a razor, and the opening can receive the head of the razor. The lining can be mounted within the inner surface of the casing. The lining can comprise the plurality of layers. The plurality of layers can be the inner layer capable of supporting the razor, the waterproof outer layer, and the absorbent inner core that can be between the inner layer and the waterproof outer layer.

In the interest of clarity, not all features of an actual implementation are described in this specification. It will be appreciated that in the development of any such actual implementation (as in any development project), design decisions must be made to achieve the designers' specific goals (e.g., compliance with system- and business-related constraints), and that these goals will vary from one implementation to another. It will also be appreciated that such development effort might be complex and time-consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking for those of ordinary skill in the field of the appropriate art having the benefit of this disclosure. Accordingly, the claims appended hereto are not intended to be limited by the disclosed embodiments, but are to be accorded their widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.
