BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates generally to the field of a biodegradable disposable bathroom sink cape and more specifically to an article of manufacture for Shave-N-Go. Shave-N-Go is a biodegradable, paper disposable bathroom sink cape designed to be the most efficient and fastest way to clean up after shaving with a electric razor, beard trimmer or clippers. The object of the invention does not provide any protection to the sink, simply a cape to catch falling hair from shaving. After use, simply close up the cape, ball it up and throw in it in the trash.

Shaving with a electric razor, beard trimmer or clippers has always leaves fine pieces of hair that is messy and hard to clean up. Right now you only have one of two options and that is to 1) rinse the hair down the drain or 2) wipe the hair up with a wet wipe or paper towel. The down fall to rinsing hair down the drain is that hair is number one cause in clogged drains which can amount to expensive repairs. The down fall to number two is that it is too time consuming and frustrating to wipe up every single piece of hair. There is a need for an inexpensive biodegradable sink cape for easy clean up.

Several types of sink liners have been proposed such as Crystal Neal—Nov. 30, 1999—U.S. Pat. No. 5,991,942 Disposable Sink and Drain Protector and Rubbish Collector. That device claims for protecting the surface of the drain and sink and is made of a polyethylene plastic material which will enable to the sink to be used without valuables falling into the drain and would also protect the surface of the sink. Another similar liner was proposed in Dec. 31, 1957—U.S. Pat. No. 2,817,851 to D. J. Barnwell—Disposable Wash-Bowl Liner. This liner also claimed to protect the interior bowl being made of a tough, flexible waterproof material for the usage of the wash bowl. However these devices are for wet use and claims to protect the surface of the sink, and are intended for the sink/wash bowl to be used with water. The cost to use either of these products on a weekly bases would be very expensive.

One way that trimmer and clipper manufacturer tried to solve this problem is by adding a expensive vacuum system to the trimmer to vacuum the hair as it is cut.

The problem with the vacuum system trimmers is that it is only on one style of beard trimmers and it still leaves some residue of hair to be cleaned up. The vacuum trimmer is limited to only one manufacturer and is only on one style of trimmer. My Shave-N-Go system is universal for any beard trimmer, electric razor or clippers and can be used with the vacuum system trimmer to catch the hair that it drops.
