Abstract

A housing for a shaving razor with razor blade(s) immersed in oil or another liquid. The housing will be of two elements with no working parts. The primary structure permits a minimal quantity of oil or other liquid to submerge the razor blade element with razor handle upright. It will also feature a catch extension on the back wall to aid oil drainage from the submersed end. The second structure is a frontally mounted lid with razor handle positioned for easy access. The oil is a light viscosity plant derivative such as sunflower oil or peanut oil or other liquids which will not affect the shaving razor's parts or the containment cell and will contain a tocopherol vitamin A stabilizer along with a biocide. To secure the housing in the desired position, a "hook and loop" type attachment device, such as Velcro.TM., will be provided to allow removal for cleaning.
