Abstract
A shaving system comprises a bifurcated razor handle () comprising a unitary, two-shot plastics molding having a pair of hinges () with elastomeric springs () joined by a cartridge mounting portion () which receives the bottom side of a generally flat, multi-blade cartridge () in fixed, snap-fit relation. The cartridge is retained in a dispenser () beneath a resilient leaf () and pressed onto the mounting portion along an engagement axis E normal to the shaving plane, the leaf being received in a recess () between the mounting portion and the cartridge. The cartridge is then retracted from the dispenser along a retraction axis R generally parallel with the shaving plane. The mounting portion includes digit-receiving regions () for pressing the mounting portion onto the cartridge, an ejection element () for disengaging the cartridge from the handle, and an elastomeric skin-engaging platform () arranged in advance of the shaving plane.
