Claim:
A razor cartridge comprising: a first cover defining an interior area, the first cover having a first end surface and a second end surface; a razor blade platform having: a base portion; at least two projections extending from said base portion each defining at least a pair of approximately parallel spaced apart support surfaces; each of said support surfaces on one of said projections being approximately laterally aligned with a corresponding one of said support surfaces defined by the other of said projections; at least two razor blades, each being carried by at least two of said laterally aligned support surfaces; and two extensions that project outwardly from the base parallel to the blade edges and opposite side from each other, each extension having a distal end that terminates with a flange extending in a plane perpendicular to the extension; wherein the razor blade platform, and the razor blades being carried on the razor blade platform, are within the interior area of the first cover, and are coupled to the first cover such that the extensions extend outward from the first and second end surfaces of the first cover and at least a portion of each first and second end surfaces are located between the flanges and wherein, when the first cover is adjacent the razor blade platform, said razor blade platform is coupled to said first cover such that said opening is positioned over said razor blades so that at least a portion of cutting edges defined thereby are exposed.
