Abstract
A housing for a shaving razor with razor blade(s) immersed in oil or another liquid. The primary structure permits a minimal quantity of oil or other liquid to submerge the razor blade with the razor handle upright. It also may 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. To secure the housing in the desired position, a “hook and loop” type attachment device can be provided to allow removal for cleaning. In another embodiment, an insert may be disposed within the housing, next to the back wall. The insert has a razor handle receiving portion and a razor blade catch extension. In another embodiment, the housing may be formed in a free-standing configuration so that it may be rested upon a countertop or table. This embodiment may be formed with a container holding portion having an oil container recess. An oil container may be placed and stored in the oil container recess. In another embodiment, a handle support groove is defined by the housing.
