Abstract: A shaving assembly operable in dry shaving environments and wet shaving environments is provided that includes a razor assembly and a shaving preparation cake. The razor assembly, which includes a razor cartridge attached to a handle, is operable in dry shaving environments and wet shaving environments. The shaving preparation cake includes an upper surface, a lower surface, one or more side surfaces extending between the upper surface and the lower surface, and an axial bore extending between the upper surface and the lower surface. The shaving preparation cake is operable in a wet shaving environment, and is selectively attachable to the razor assembly for wet shaving environment applications. When the shaving preparation cake is attached to the razor assembly, the razor cartridge is disposed within the axial bore of the shaving preparation cake. The shaving preparation cake is selectively detachable from the razor assembly to facilitate use of the razor assembly in dry shaving environment applications.

Abstract: A shaving equipment system is provided that includes a razor assembly, a replacement cartridge container, and a storage apparatus. The storage apparatus includes a body, a wall attachment mechanism, a razor assembly holder, and a replacement cartridge container holder. The wall attachment mechanism, the razor assembly holder, and the replacement cartridge container holder are attached to the body.

Abstract: A razor cartridge for simultaneously applying a shaving aid and removing hair in a single step includes at least one elongated razor blade positioned on the razor cartridge and defining an at least partially exposed longitudinally extending cutting edge. The razor cartridge includes longitudinally extending leading and trailing edges and a pair of generally opposed arcuate edge portions each extending outwardly from and between respective ends of the leading and trailing edges. The razor cartridge defines an outer surface surrounding the elongated razor blade and is bounded by the arcuate edge portions and the leading and trailing edges. Substantially all of the outer surface of the razor cartridge comprises a shaving aid material.

Abstract: An ergonomic handle for a shaving implement includes a head section and a body portion. The body portion has a width and height with the ratio of the width to the height being approximately 1.1 to approximately 1.4 along a length defined by the body portion.

Abstract: A shaving assembly for simultaneously applying a shaving preparation and removing hair in a single step includes a base having an upper end, a lower end and a hollow space between the upper and lower ends, whereby the hollow space defines an opening at the upper end of the base. The shaving assembly includes a receiver for a razor, such as a cartridge receiver for a razor blade cartridge, that is connected with the base and that is disposed at the opening at the upper end of the base. The cartridge receiver has a perimeter and the opening at the upper end of the base completely surrounds the perimeter of the cartridge receiver. The hollow space of the base is adapted for containing a shaving preparation, such as a soap cake, a liquid soap, shaving cream or a body wash and may be combined with skin beneficial ingredients and/or scent.
