In the 1982 movie Ron Howard movie Night Shift, Michael Keaton (before Batman) gave a career launching performance playing Billy Blazejowski, a wacky would be entrepreneur who comes up with the idea of running a brothel out of a morgue.

One of his other big ideas is to mix mayonnaise into tuna cans or (improbably) as his character posits “Why not feed mayonnaise directly to the tuna? I should call StarKist.”. I thought of this when I heard about ShaveMate. It seems the founders must have said to themselves “Why not put shaving cream directly in the razor?” Unlike Keaton’s character’s far-fetched ides, ShaveMate is an idea that not only makes sense, it actually works.

Florida residents, Louis and Peter Tomassetti came up with what they term a ‘why didn’t I think of that’ product-ShaveMate (Titan 6 for men and Diva 6 for women). It is the first and only razor that comes with shaving cream right inside the handle.

The way it works is that you just push the bottom of the handle to dispense the shaving cream. This obviously makes the product ideal for travel. The Tomassetti brother’s invention is apparently a huge hit and has already been picked up by major national drug stores such as Walgreens and Target.com.

According to a company press release, ShaveMate is the first nationally branded razors ever to include six precisely positioned in-line blades in one razor head. The new six blade head is designed to pivot smoothly and effortlessly to keep the blades flat against the skin. Though Diva (for woman) and Titan (for men) contain this six-blade technology, the advanced razor head is slimmer than other razor heads with fewer blades—allowing consumers to shave even in hard-to-reach areas.
