Abstract
A pocketable manual shaver when encased for storage generally shaped like a fountain pen comprising a pliable handle portion containing a shaving substance that interconnects to a shaving head through a combination pivot and valve member. The shaving head includes a shaving blade whereby the shaving substance can be dispensed from the handle through the valve member to an area opposite the shaving blade when the head is rotated relative to the handle to a use position. The combination pivot and valve attachment between the head and handle allows the head to rotate relative to the handle between a stowed position which is inline with the longitudinal centerline of the handle and a use position which is perpendicular to the longitudinal center line of the handle. When the head is rotated to the stowed position, an opening in the head of the pivot and a handle opening extending to the substance are misaligned (valve closed positioned) preventing the substance from leaving the handle and when the head is rotated to the use position the opening in the head of the pivot and the opening to the substance are aligned (valve open position) allowing substance from the handle to be forced through the openings to the area of the pivot opposite the blade by squeezing the handle.
