A shaving aid delivery system for a shaving system includes a razor head having a resilient reservoir for holding a shaving aid and a piezoelectric ceramic disposed adjacent the resilient reservoir. The delivery system also includes a shaving strip disposed within the razor head, an actuator and an ejection port. The shaving strip is oriented to engage the skin of a user during a shaving stroke and the actuator electrically couples to the piezoelectric ceramic such that, upon activation, the actuator causes deformation of the piezoelectric ceramic which, in turn, deforms the resilient reservoir and forces the shaving aid from the reservoir through the ejection port. Alternatively, the actuator may include a shape memory alloy which, upon transformation between states, deforms the reservoir and forces the shaving aid from the reservoir through the ejection port.

What is claimed is: 1. A shaving aid delivery system for a shaving system, comprising: a razor head having a base for supporting at least one razor blade and at least one reservoir for holding a shaving aid, said at least one razor blade including a cutting edge along a skin engaging surface of said razor head, said reservoir having at least one resilient portion, and said reservoir being located within said razor head; a deformable element disposed adjacent to said resilient portion of said reservoir; an ejection port for issuing said shaving aid from said reservoir to said skin engaging surface of said razor head; and an electrically activated actuator coupled to said deformable element for initiating deformation of said deformable element which, in turn, deforms said resilient portion of said reservoir and forces said shaving aid from said reservoir through said ejection port. 2. A shaving aid delivery system according to claim 1 further comprising a shaving strip disposed on said skin engaging surface of said razor head and oriented to engage the skin of a user during a shaving stroke. 3. A shaving aid delivery system according to claim 2 further comprising a plurality of ejection ports disposed across said razor head, each of said ejection ports for directing said shaving aid from said reservoir into contact with a portion of said shaving strip upon activation of said actuator. 4. A shaving aid delivery system according to claim 1 wherein said razor head is selectively engageable with a razor handle. 5. A shaving aid delivery system according to claim 3 wherein said activator is affixed to said razor handle. 6. A shaving aid delivery system according to claim 1 wherein said razor head is integral with a razor handle. 7. A shaving aid delivery system according to claim 1 further comprising a plurality of ejection ports disposed across said razor head. 8. A shaving aid delivery system according to claim 1 wherein said shaving aid is selected from the group consisting of: silicone oils, Aloe Vera compounds, medicinal agents, cosmetic agents, essential oils, vitamin oils, sunflower oils, sesame oils, Jojoba oils, Allantoin, sodium pymvates, polyethylene oxides, non-ionic polyacrylamides, polysaccharides, sodium lauryl suiphates, polystyrene compounds and polypropylene compounds, Dimenthicone, Alcohol Beuzoates, Glycerin, Cety Alcohol, and Steryl Alcohol.
