Ever since people have used razors to shave, there have been numerous accessories designed to hold the various shaving implements. Some of these accessories exist to hold the instruments together in one convenient place and others are designed to hold each implement separately in convenient locations. Prior inventions designed to store shaving cream, shaving gel and/or manual shaving razors have been made from a variety of rigid, non-porous materials including, but not limited to ceramic, metal and plastic. These models have all failed to address multiple aesthetic and/or functionality defects which are remedied by using neoprene or another malleable material which has some amount of elasticity and is resistant to water, but not impervious.
Neoprene and other similar materials can be used to contain rust, which naturally occurs when a metallic can is exposed to water. Said materials also have the ability to snugly hold on to said can, thus reducing the vibrations which resonate sound in the event the can is dropped. Said materials provide a certain amount of cushioning that is both easier to grip when wet, and acts as a buffer between hard, sharp edges of a can and vulnerable surfaces such as human flesh or easily marred surfaces that may exist. Neoprene and other similar materials are lightweight, easily portable, and can be produced inexpensively in a variety of different colors in order to accommodate consumer preferences and other aesthetic needs.
Said materials are typically attached using stitching, adhesive, or any other durable method of attachment of the two components. Said attachment can be inexpensively produced in a variety of different colors which can be used in concert with the different colors of neoprene or similar material to accommodate a more diverse variety of color combinations, meeting a variety of aesthetic needs. Neoprene and other similar materials are also able to be inexpensively embossed with logos, photographs, or other artwork which would meet aesthetic needs of the consumer.
This invention is a means of conveniently storing a can of shaving cream or shaving gel along with a manual shaving razor. Although the concept has been around for several decades, said invention is novel because of the physical properties of neoprene, or other similar materials, which are used to construct said invention. The unique properties of neoprene and other similar materials resolve multiple aesthetic and/or functionality issues that have not been addressed by prior versions of similar devices.
This invention is a dual cavity unit constructed in one of two different sizes to snugly hold either a can of shaving cream or a can of shaving gel along with a manual shaving razor. Said invention is constructed primarily of neoprene or any other malleable material which has some amount of elasticity and is resistant to water, but not impervious. The first cavity is a cylindrical tube which is open at the top and closed at the bottom and is constructed in one of two different sizes to snugly hold either a traditional can of shaving cream or a narrower can typically used to contain shaving gel. The second cavity is a “loop” which is open at the top, and may or may not be open at the bottom, and is attached to the side of the first cavity using stitching, adhesive, or any other durable method of attachment of the two components.
