Description
- This application claims benefit to U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 16/391,304, filed on Apr. 23, 2019, titled “Shaving Mirror Base”; the contents of which are incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in their entirety, and to which priority and benefit are claimed.
- The present disclosure relates generally to shaving mirrors. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a shaving mirror base that is attachable to and readily removable from the bottom of a shaving cream/gel container and a method of manufacturing a shaving mirror base.
- The practice of shaving facial hair with the combination of shaving cream/gel and a razor is an almost daily occurrence for many individuals. Effective shaving requires a mirror. Generally, most individuals shave in front of a mirror above the bathroom sink—a time-consuming and somewhat cumbersome task because it requires an individual to rinse the face with warm water prior to shaving, continually rinse the razor in the sink throughout the shaving process, rinse/clean off the face and razor after finishing, and also clean the area afterwards. Alternatively, shower mirrors currently in the market enable one to shave while in the shower, eliminating certain inefficiencies and the cumbersome nature of traditional shaving. However, shower mirrors can be awkward to use, unappealing, take up precious real estate in small showers, and be inconvenient to use. For example, existing support bases of shower mirrors, such as suction cups or wire frames, are poor quality at best and ineffective at worst. And, shower mirrors are often in the way and pose safety risks if dropped. As a result, any benefit gained from the use of existing shower mirrors is outweighed by its overall inconvenience.
- Thus, what is needed is a new and improved shaving mirror that provides the benefits of a shower mirror without any of its common drawbacks or disadvantages. Ideally, such a shaving mirror is durable, convenient to use, reusable, requires no additional space for placement, and comprises a fogless, safe, high-resolution mirror.
- The following presents a simplified overview of the example embodiments in order to provide a basic understanding of some embodiments of the example embodiments. This overview is not an extensive overview of the example embodiments. It is intended to neither identify key or critical elements of the example embodiments nor delineate the scope of the appended claims. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the example embodiments in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented herein below. It is to be understood that both the following general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive.
- In accordance with the embodiments disclosed herein, the present disclosure is directed to a shaving mirror base that is attachable to and readily removable from the bottom of a shaving cream/gel container and a method of manufacturing a shaving mirror base. The shaving mirror base comprises: an integral base, wherein the outside bottom of the integral base comprises a mirror; a side wall, wherein the side wall extends upwardly and terminates at an upper rim; and an open top, wherein the open top extends downwardly and inwardly from the side wall. The shaving mirror base may comprise a flat mirror or a convex mirror, and the mirror may further comprise anti-fog and water repellant properties. The manufacturing method comprises encapsulating a mirror with an integral base; forming a side wall, wherein the side wall extends upwardly from the integral base and terminates at an upper rim; and forming an open top, wherein the open top extends downwardly and inwardly from the side wall.
- Still other advantages, embodiments, and features of the subject disclosure will become readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art from the following description wherein there is shown and described a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, simply by way of illustration of one of the best modes best suited to carry out the subject disclosure. As it will be realized, the present disclosure is capable of other different embodiments and its several details are capable of modifications in various obvious embodiments all without departing from, or limiting, the scope herein. Accordingly, the drawings and descriptions will be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.
