Wall mountable razor holder
View Patent ↗A wall mountable razor holder is provided. The razor holder has two pairs of curved arms extending from a back plate and wall mounting structure, such as a suction cup. The razor holder retains a safety razor at least one of two alternate positions. A head down position will ensure adequate drainage from the razor to ensure an erodable shaving aid body member of the razor will not soften from unnecessary contact with water. A head up position will be more familiar to a user.
1. A wall mountable razor holder, the razor holder comprising:
a back plate defining a height and having a wall mounting structure, a first pair of horizontally spaced curved arms, the arms extending forwardly from the back plate with their free ends directed toward one another and defining a first width between the free ends thereof, each arm having a lip extending inwardly from the arm, the lip having an inner edge, and;
a second pair of horizontally spaced curved arms extending forwardly from the back plate with their free ends directed forwardly of the back plate and defining a space therebetween and a second width between the free ends thereof, the second pair of arms being disposed higher on the back plate than the first pair of arms;
wherein the first width is greater than the second width;
wherein the razor holder removably retains a safety razor, the razor comprising: a handle, the handle having a first end, a mid section, a second end and a supportable surface at the first end; and a razor cartridge removably coupled to the first end of the handle;
