A pair of San Diego sailors are hoping to find success with their invention — a small device for cleaning out gunky razors.

Former Navy officers Matt Semple and Andy Camp were tired of waking one another up at odd hours during a deployment on the guided-missile destroyer USS Jason Dunham.

"Often I would wake up to the sound of him tapping his razor against the sink, which is not a very pleasant way to wake up," Camp said.Camp studied systems engineering at the Naval Academy. He said his long watches during deployment gave him plenty of time to draw and design. He was looking for a solution.Become a KPBS sponsor

Andy Camp demonstrates the Razor Rinser in the IDEA Lab at the San Diego Central Library May 14, 2024. The lab has 3D printers and a laser cutter, which Semple and Camp put to work. It wasn't long before they had a prototype and were ready to take the next steps. The library's IDEA lab isn't just for inventors and entrepreneurs, Hoang said. People can work on school and art projects, design t-shirts, print images on mugs and even convert old analog media to digital.
