ABSTRACT:
A shaving system having replaceable blade cartridges is provided with a simple connector for pivotably mounting the cartridge, and for attaching to a handle with a simple latch mechanism. Embodiments include a handle having a handle body, and a connector mounting portion at the front of the handle body with a substantially horizontal bottom wall and an inwardly-extending, elastically deformable cantilever latch. The connector has a cartridge mounting structure, and a handle attachment portion extending rearward from a central body. The handle attachment portion has an extension for slidingly mating with the bottom wall of the handle's connector mounting portion, and a substantially vertical connector wall for engaging and deflecting the cantilever latch upward as the extension is slidingly engaged with the bottom wall, until an engagement portion of the cantilever latch snaps over the connector wall to removably retain the connector on the handle between bottom wall of the handle connector mounting portion and the cantilever latch.
