Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008112138A1] A wet shave razor assembly includes a shaving aid delivery system surrounding a razor cartridge. The shaving aid delivery system includes a hydrophilic foam having a water soluble shaving preparation disposed therein. During a wet shave operation, the hydrophilic foam is compressed as the razor is stroked across a user's skin. The hydrophilic foam is an open-cell structure defined by a plurality of supporting elements that cooperate to form tortuous paths. The hydrophilic foam can also include closed cells, or it can be a combination of open cells and closed cells. The shaving preparation is disposed in the paths and/or closed cells. A combination razor cartridge/shaving aid delivery system assembly can be releasably attached to a handle. The razor cartridge may be movable relative to the hydrophilic foam and include a mechanism allowing such movement housed in the handle, or it can be fixed relative to the hydrophilic foam.
