Abstract

A combination shaving and trimming device includes a powered trimmer and a wet-shaving razor attachment adapted for mounting over the trimmer. The wet shaving razor attachment includes a connecting member for mounting over the trimmer for wet shaving using the trimmer as the handle. A grip insert is provided that removably attaches to the connecting member for wet shaving independent of the trimmer. The combination shaving and trimming device and the grip insert include alignment guides providing one way attachment of the connecting member to the trimmer as well as one way attachment of the grip insert to the connecting member.

1. A wet-shaving razor comprising:

a connecting member having a proximal end, a distal end, opposing sides therebetween, the connecting member comprising an overhanging shoulder disposed proximate the proximal end, and at least one hook disposed at the distal end;

a grip insert, made of a rubber or plastic material, said grip insert having a proximal end, a distal end, and opposing sides therebetween, the grip insert comprising a slot disposed in the distal end, wherein the at least one hook disposed at the aft end of the connecting member, releasably attaches to the slot, and the proximal end of the grip insert releasably attaches to the overhanging shoulder of the connecting member, wherein said grip insert encloses a portion of the distal end of the connecting member; and

a razor cartridge attached to the proximal end of the connecting member.

2. The wet shaving razor of claim 1 wherein the connecting member further comprises alignment grooves disposed on the opposing sides of the connecting member proximate the proximate end, and wherein the grip insert further comprises alignment members disposed on the opposing sides, proximate the proximate end, wherein the alignment members disposed on the opposing sides of the grip insert releasably attach to the alignment grooves disposed on the opposing sides of the connecting member.

3. The wet shaving razor of claim 2 wherein the alignment grooves are L-shaped and configured to interface with the alignment members and provide one way attachment of the connecting member to the grip insert.

4. The wet shaving razor of claim 1 wherein the razor cartridge is removably attached to the forward end of the connecting member.

5. The wet shaving razor of claim 1 wherein the grip insert is plastic having resiliency to facilitate gripping during use.

a connecting member having a forward end, an aft end, and opposing sides therebetween comprising a front face and a back face forming a receiving region, the connecting member comprising an overhanging shoulder disposed proximate the forward end, and at least one hook disposed at the aft end;

a grip insert having a forward end, an aft end, and opposing sides therebetween, the grip insert comprising a slot disposed in the aft end, wherein the at least one hook disposed at the aft end of the connecting member, releasably attaches to the slot, and the forward end of the grip insert releasably attaches to the overhanging shoulder of the connecting member, wherein said grip insert fits completely within the boundaries formed by said opposing sides of said connecting member; and

a razor cartridge attached to the forward end of the connecting member; and

an enclosable case having a first portion dimensioned to receive the wet shaving razor and a second portion hingedly attached to the first portion and dimensioned to cover the first portion and the wet shaving razor disposed therein.

7. The wet shaving razor kit of claim 5 wherein the second portion of the cases includes a slot configured to receive the aft end of the connecting member providing a stand for the wet shaving razor.

8. A wet-shaving razor comprising:

a connecting member having a forward end, and aft end, and opposing sides therebetween, the connecting member comprising an overhanging shoulder disposed proximate the forward end, and at least one hook disposed at the aft end;

a grip insert, made of rubber or plastic material, said grip insert having a forward end, and aft end, and opposing sides therebetween, the grip insert comprising a slot disposed in the aft end, wherein the at least one hook disposed at the aft end of the connecting member, releasably attaches to the slot, and the forward end of the grip insert releasably attaches to the overhanging shoulder of the connecting member, wherein said grip insert fits completely within the boundaries of the connecting member; and
