Surface-mountable razor holder

Abstract

A surface-mountable holder includes a rear surface adapted to be coupled with an affixing mechanism for mounting to an external surface. The surface-mountable holder further includes a front surface configured to magnetically secure a shaving razor. The front surface is adapted to receive an upper handle portion of the shaving razor. The upper handle portion is in close proximity to a razor portion of the shaving razor.

1 . A surface-mountable holder comprising:
 a rear surface adapted to be coupled with an affixing mechanism for mounting to an external surface; and   a front surface configured to magnetically secure a shaving razor, the front surface adapted to receive an upper handle portion of the shaving razor, the upper handle portion being in close proximity to a razor portion of the shaving razor.   
     
     
         2 . The surface-mountable holder of  claim 1 , wherein the front surface is configured to magnetically secure the shaving razor in an upright position. 
     
     
         3 . The surface-mountable holder of  claim 1 , wherein a surface area of the front surface is shaped and sized to provide sufficient contact for magnetically securing the upper handle portion of the shaving razor. 
     
     
         4 . The surface-mountable holder of  claim 1 , further comprising a first magnet positioned adjacent to the front surface. 
     
     
         5 . The surface-mountable holder of  claim 4 , wherein the first magnet interacts with a second magnet incorporated in the upper handle portion of the shaving razor to magnetically secure the shaving razor to the front surface. 
     
     
         6 . The surface-mountable holder of  claim 4 , wherein the first magnet interacts with a ferromagnetic material incorporated in the upper handle portion of the shaving razor to magnetically secure the shaving razor to the front surface. 
     
     
         7 . The surface-mountable holder of  claim 1 , further comprising a body separating the rear surface from the front surface. 
     
     
         8 . The surface-mountable holder of  claim 7 , wherein the body comprises a length extending in a direction away from the external surface when the rear surface is affixed thereto, and wherein the length is sufficient to provide clearance for unobstructed access to a lower handle portion of the shaving razor when the shaving razor is magnetically secured to the front surface. 
     
     
         9 . The surface-mountable holder of  claim 8 , wherein the length of the body forms an approximate orthogonal angle with the external surface when the rear surface is affixed to the external surface. 
     
     
         10 . The surface-mountable holder of  claim 7 , wherein the body is adapted to support an external hanging object along its peripheral surface. 
     
     
         11 . The surface-mountable holder of  claim 7 , wherein a magnet is provided within the body, the magnet positioned in close proximity to the front surface. 
     
     
         12 . The surface-mountable holder of  claim 1 , wherein the affixing mechanism is an adhesive backing. 
     
     
         13 . A surface-mountable holder comprising:
 a rear surface adapted to be coupled with an affixing mechanism for mounting to an external surface;   a front surface configured to magnetically secure a shaving razor, the front surface adapted to receive an upper handle portion of the shaving razor, the upper handle portion being in close proximity to a razor portion of the shaving razor; and   a body separating the rear surface from the front surface.   
     
     
         14 . A surface-mountable holder comprising:
 a rear surface adapted to be coupled with an adhesive backing for mounting to an external surface;   a front surface configured to magnetically secure a shaving razor, the front surface adapted to receive an upper handle portion of the shaving razor, the upper handle portion being in close proximity to a razor portion of the shaving razor; and   a body separating the rear surface from the front surface, the body forming an approximate orthogonal angle with the external surface when the rear surface is affixed to the external surface.
