Abstract
A wet shaving device has a razor head carried by a handle and supports a disposable blade cartridge which has a plurality of blades. A guard/transfer roller supported for rotation on the razor head in advance of a lead blade provides a guard for the lead blade, forms a closure for a dispensing slot in the razor head, receives soap film from a wetted block of soap preparation disposed within the dispensing slot, and transfers soap film from the wetted block to and deposits it ahead of the lead blade and on the skin surface being shaved during a normal shaving process. A spring biased pusher disposed within the dispensing slot and which normally urges the block of soap preparation into engagement with the roller is manually withdrawn from the dispensing slot to facilitate replenishment of spent soap preparation.
