A razor cartridge including a first housing portion having a first top surface positioned on a first plane; one or more razor blade members mounted in the first housing portion and each including a blade with a cutting edge; and a second housing portion rotatably attached to the first housing portion. The second housing portion has a second top surface positioned on a second plane, and the second top surface includes an engagement surface configured to receive a shaving razor component. The second housing portion has a first position in which the second plane is positioned at an angle of between negative 30 degrees and 30 degrees with respect to the first plane and a second position in which the second plane is positioned at an angle of between 70 degrees to 130 degrees with respect to the first plane.

A method for retaining a shaving razor component in a razor cartridge including: providing the razor cartridge including a first housing portion with a first top surface positioned on a first plane, one or more razor blade members, and a second housing portion rotatably attached to the first housing portion and including a second top surface positioned on a second plane and an engagement surface configured to receive the shaving razor component, in which the second housing portion has a first or open position and a second or closed position; with the second housing portion in the first position, positioning the shaving razor component against the engagement surface; and moving the second housing portion with respect to the first housing portion such that the second housing portion is in the second position and the shaving razor component is disposed between the first and second housing portions.

A razor includes a razor cartridge including at least one shaving blade, a handle having an internal space, and a head unit. The head unit includes a cartridge-engaging segment configured to be coupled to the razor cartridge, and a handle-engaging segment having at least a portion configured to be inserted into the internal space and including a first cantilever section that is configured: to be inserted into the internal space by contacting at least a portion of an inner circumferential surface of the internal space, and to be at least partially elastically deformable such that a diameter of the first cantilever section along a length of the first cantilever section decreases toward a free end of the first cantilever section contacting the inner circumferential surface initially and being squeezed toward a longitudinal central axis of the handle-engaging segment when the first cantilever section is inserted into the internal space.

A shaving razor system includes a razor handle that docks with a razor cartridge. The handle is configured to dock with the razor cartridge using a single hook configured to mate with a cartridge tab. A central pushrod is mounted with a spring into the handle and is configured to exert a pushing force on the mounted cartridge. To eject the cartridge, the single hook may be pushed to pivot to the side of the cartridge tab, and thereby release the razor cartridge by ejecting it with the spring loaded pushrod.

A connector for attaching a cartridge to a handle. The connector is adapted to rotate around a rocking axis with respect to the handle. The connector includes a pair of arms adapted to attach the connector to the cartridge, a holder adapted to attach the connector to the handle, and at least a pair of resilient lateral tongues protruding from the connector and positioned symmetrically with regard to a connector axis. One of the lateral tongues is adapted to flex when the connector is rotated in a first direction around the rocking axis, and the other lateral tongue is adapted to flex when the connector is rotated in a second direction around the rocking axis.

A razor cartridge comprising three or more substantially parallel cutting members disposed between a leading longitudinal side and a trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge. Each of the cutting members comprises a blade support comprising a blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane, and a blade attached to the blade mounting portion. The cutting members are disposed to define a plurality of inter-blade spans between cutting edges of the blades. A leading inter-blade span that is closer to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than a trailing inter-blade span is different to the trailing inter-blade span that is closer to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than the leading inter-blade span.

A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a top surface and a bottom surface. A guard is at the front of the housing. A cap is at a rear of the housing. At least one blade is mounted to the housing between the guard and the cap. The housing has a wall defining an opening extending from the top surface to the bottom surface that is configured to receive a portion of a handle. The bottom surface has a handle docking alignment member indicating an intended direction for the handle to be inserted into the opening.

A razor and a razor handle assembly are disclosed that provides greater control when shaving. The razor includes a substantially spherical handle to which a razor head including one or more blades is attached, the handle having a diameter between about 1¼ and 2 inches and a distance between the razor head and the handle is no greater than half a width of the razor head. The razor is sized and shaped to enable the spherical handle to be held in a palm of a hand of a user in a first configuration such that finger tips of that hand are able to apply pressure directly to the razor head, and held in the second configuration between a thumb and finger tips of the user such that the razor may be rotated around at least two axes through relative movement of the user's fingers and thumb.

A razor handle including a main body and a head at one end of the main body. The head may include one or more inner bearing surfaces for pivotally engaging with a razor cartridge and one or more protrusions disposed on the one or more inner bearing surfaces. Also provided is a razor system including the razor handle and a razor cartridge pivotally coupled to the razor handle. The razor cartridge engages the one or more protrusions to limit pivotal movement of the razor cartridge with respect to the head.
