Following up on last weeks invention, today I found a similar concept utilizing an “aerosol actuated push button shaving cream dispenser” – better known as canned goo.

Or to quote the abstract:

A disposable combination razor and shaving cream dispenser having an aerosol actuated push button shaving cream dispenser and a non-removable cap having a razor blade at the upper end and a pushbutton adapted to engage the push button of the dispenser. In this manner, the dispenser body may be used as a handle when shaving and the cream may be dispensed without removing the cap from the dispenser as needed to be applied by the hand into which the cream is dispensed.

Is carrying both razor and shaving cream just too much? Too much to recall where you put down two items in your bathroom? Worry not – there is a disturbing amount of patents taken out combining the two, and today’s patent was granted as recently as 1988:

A disposable razor includes a handle having a compartment for containing a limited amount of shaving cream/gel, with the amount of the shaving cream/gel predetermined to be quantitatively the appropriate amount usable during the relatively short life of the disposable razor. The handle includes provisions for inserting and removing a container for the cream or gel in one embodiment and other embodiments disclose different elements for dispensing the cream or gel from the container through the bottom of the handle.

As mentioned, it is not a terrible original idea, but apparently this way of doing it was novel enough to grant a patent for.
