A shaver accessory hinges over a sharp edge of a razor blade of a shaver and comprises an outwardly facing sponge. A substantially planar flap has the sponge and a hinge at one end. The hinge is configured to attach to the shaver with the sponge facing at least outwardly when the flap is hinged over the sharp edge of the razor blade of the shaver. A securing mechanism coupled to another end opposite the one end is configured to variably attach the another end of the substantially planar flap to the shaver when the hinge rotates at least 270 degrees about the end of the shaver handle in either a closed position or an open position. A neoprene fabric sleeve fits over an outer end of a shaver handle to secure the hinge to the shaver.

A clipper holder, for electrical hair clippers, includes an upper enclosure with a major arc element having a diameter to accommodate the clipper. Left and right portions of the major arc element terminate in opposing blunt ends. The space between the opposing ends is wide enough to allow passage of the clipper's cord. A lower enclosure has a smaller major arc element that is coplanar and coaxial with the upper enclosure. The smaller major arc element can accommodate the clipper's cord. Left and right portions of the smaller major arc element are contiguous with curvilinear portions that extend forward, curving upward toward the opposing blunt ends, finishing as vertical extensions with blunt tips. The vertical extensions prevent forward movement of an enclosed clipper. The smaller major arc element prevents movement anywhere else but up. An angled connecting rear rod supports the enclosures and is attached to a mounting plate.
