Definitions
- shaving soap is first applied to the beard and then shaving apparatus is applied to the skin to remove the shaving soap.and the beard.
- the present invention makes redundant the initial step of applying shaving soap to the beard by providing shaving apparatus comprising a holder, means for mounting a razor in the holder for application to the user's skin to shave his beard, a reservoir of lubricating substance and actuating means actuatable to supply said lubricating substance to the portion of the holder adjacent the razor for lubricating the skin in advance of the application of the razor.
- the reservoir may be located in the holder and when the reservoir is an aerosol container, the actuating means is preferably an aerosol valve for the aerosol container.
- the actuating means may comprise a pump for moving the substance from the reservoir to said position in advance of the razor.
- the holder may comprise a handle by which the user can hold the holder and the actuating means is actuatable by the user's thumb when holding the handle in his hand.
- Figure 1 is a side elevation of shaving apparatus
- Figure 2 is a front elevation of the top part of the apparatus of Figure 1
- Figure 3 is a rear elevation of the lower part of the apparatus of Figure 1.
- the illustrated shaving apparatus comprises a handle 11 with an angled extension piece 12, the free end 13 of which mounts a razor blade 14 which protrudes from the surface 15 of the holder to shave skin over which the surface 15 of the holder is drawn.
- the apparatus described with reference to the drawings is conventional and the apparatus may vary from the form illustrated similar to other conventional shaving devices, for example, to have replaceable blades, or to have a head pivotable from a rest position about an axis parallel to the blade edge.
- the handle 11 is hollow and its interior forms a reservoir 21 for shaving fluid.
- the main body of the handle 11 will be held by the user between his fingers and his palm and a button 22 is conveniently located at the top end of the handle for upwards movement by the user's thumb to force some shaving fluid from the reservoir up the internal bore 23 of the angled extension piece 12 to reach the surface 15 at point 24 immediately below (as seen in Figure 1) the razor blade 14.
- the shaving fluid at point 24 will lubricate the skin before the razor blade is applied to corresponding portions of the skin to remove the beard.
- one stroke of the button 22 in an upwards direction is sufficient to force a supply of fluid from the reservoir to the position adjacent the razor blade to lubricate the skin during one or even a plurality of strokes, depending on the viscosity and compressibility of the shaving fluid which may delay the response of fluid emerging at point 24 following a stroke of the button.
- the reservoir may be rechargeable, or may be totally sealed so that the device is disposable after the reservoir has been exhausted.
- the reservoir may be an aerosol reservoir with a suitable aerosol valve operated by the button 22.
- the holder may comprise a flexible bulb, which can be compressed at an actuating point to force fluid therefrom to point 24, thus making operation of the button 22 unnecessary. It would also be possible to locate the reservoir outside the handle, connected thereto by a flexible conduit.
- the apparatus described enables the user to lubricate his beard and shave it in a single operation by operating the button while drawing the razor across his skin so that shaving fluid is forced into the position immediately upstream of the razor blade 14 so that it lubricates the skin which is immediately shaved by the razor blade as the apparatus is drawn across the skin.
- the user does not have to apply shaving fluid to the skin before taking up the handle 11 to apply the razor to the skin.
- the shaving fluid is applied to the skin while the user is drawing the apparatus across the skin.
