A waterless shaving system including a method of shavings consisting of the steps of applying a shaving product in the form of a thin transparent film of lubricant gel cream to a dry, unwetted skin surface area to be shaved thus leaving the hair in an erect and substantially rigid condition as compared to hair that has been wetted and soaked which results in the hair being hydrated and becoming limp and easily flexed or bent away from a razor blade when the blade comes into contact with the hair shaft in order to cut the erect hair shafts in a straight, transverse manner closely adjacent the skin surface area being shaved. The residual shaving product is rubbed into the skin area without washing off or rinsing off the skin area with water.

A shaving lotion used when shaving with an electric razor. The shaving lotion includes a combination of lubricants, vitamins, aloe vera, moisturizers, sunscreen with or without sunless tanning and/or fragrance and other constituents to act as a skin enhancing and protecting product which also serves to reduce the appearance of fine lines in the skin surface. The shaving lotion is applied by utilizing a roller ball applicator prior to shaving with an electric razor and has the ability to orient the whiskers or hair vertically or perpendicular to the surface being shaved so that the whole hair shaft can effectively be directed through holes found in the foil shaver or through the grill openings found in a rotary shaver to cut the hair close to the skin surface. After shaving, the light residue of shaving lotion that remains on the skin surface is briskly rubbed into the skin surface to provide skin enhancement and protection.

A disposable resilient razor in which the razor includes a handle and a razor head interconnected by a resilient, flexible, reduced diameter area of plastic material of one piece construction with the handle and head to enable universal or global flexible, resilient movement of the razor head in relation to the handle. The flexible, resilient, reduced diameter area connecting the handle to the razor head retains the handle and razor head in normal position until a force is applied to the handle when the razor head is engaged with a skin surface to be shaved. This enables a razor blade having a cutting edge mounted on the razor head to be oriented in parallel, substantially flush relation to the skin surface. The razor head has a large flat surface area before and after the blade cutting edge which positions the cutting edge in parallel, flush relation to the skin surface for preventing the cutting edge from digging into the skin surface thereby eliminating nicks and cuts and positioning the cutting edge for cutting hair shafts in perpendicular relation to the axis of hair shafts and parallel to and adjacent the skin surface. The handle of the razor has concave longitudinal side surfaces and convex edge surfaces which enables the razor to be held lightly, in a manner similar to a violin bow, thereby avoiding the use of a pinching grip which is necessary to hold a straight shaft handle of a conventional razor.

A storage canister for shaving items including a base having an upper surface with a plurality of recesses formed therein for receiving a plurality of shaving items and a vertically extending cover or enclosure removably mounted on the base for enclosing the shaving items when the cover or enclosure is in place on the base and providing easy access to the shaving items when the cover or enclosure is lifted off the base. The storage canister base includes a bottom surface which can be placed on any convenient supporting surface adjacent to or contiguous with a bathroom lavatory sink such as a countertop surface. The recesses in the base are shaped to receive shaving items such as the head of a razor, a razor blade cartridge dispenser and a container for a shaving lubricant in the form of gel or cream in which the container is in the form of a squeeze tube. The storage canister provides a functionally effective retainer and support for the shaving items to retain them in an easily accessible position and in a small concentrated area or space so that a minimum space on a countertop surface is occupied or consumed as compared to such items being randomly placed on a supporting surface or in a cabinet, drawer or the like. Also, the storage canister provides an attractive bathroom accessory due to a uniquely attractive shape and external surface appearance characteristics.
