Abstract

A gel-dispensing disposable razor comprising a transparent plastic tubular handle with forked supports at one end, and a multi-bladed cartridge pivotally attached to the forked supports of the handle. A packet of shaving gel is resident in a reservoir formed in the handle, and a positive displacement pumping mechanism allows finger-operated extrusion of the gel out of the module, through the handle into a pivoting manifold which spreads the gel outward around the cartridge. The gel is extruded from the handle through the manifold which evenly extrudes the gel into laminar flow paths that emanate outward from around the pivoting cartridge. All of the tubular handle, carriage, manifold and positive displacement pumping mechanism are molded plastic components for cost-effective mass production. Moreover, the transparent handle provides an indication of the amount of gel left therein, and is further equipped with a series of spaced rubberized annular ribs to provide a sure hand-grip. The razor provides an exceptionally smooth shave for approximately 3-5 usages, after which the device can be conveniently disposed of.
